FTP Download localize issue

Hello Steinar,

I think I found a bug and maybe you could check please. By the way, maybe it's a windows problem, I don't know.
Ftp watch ->XDCAM encode (atom)->Deliver

The issue is when FFastrans download the file from ftp, the file is temporary located in FFastrans work root folder until is complete. Then, encoded, delivered and at last deleted from work root folder.
But I saw this downloaded file is also located in another folder and not deleted when finished! (I noticed that because my system DD was almost full).
Here is the folder path :
\\USERS\[USERS]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\[name]

I did a test with a quite little file (about 6Go) and as you can see on my photo, the file was always here after FFastrans process.
I let you imagine when you catch a 40Go file on a little SSD...

Anyway, so if you can check this, it will be kind.

Thank you very much.
Cheers.

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin, thanks for reporting!

FFAStrans use the windows api for ftp operations and behind the scenes it will download to a temporary folder before ending up as a localized FFAStrans file. I will look the options to avoid this behavour from the OS.
