Copy from FTP crashes (abort) guest

[diegolaz]

Hello, x64 windows 7 host with vista 64 guest.
Using latest version of filezilla (same happened with last 3 or 4 versions at least)

Since virtualbox 3.xx (3.0.4, 3.0.8 at least) filezila works....BUT...... 99% of times crashes the virtual machine!! (GUI error and closes)
3.0.4 and now also 3.0.8.......any ideas?!

Thanks!

Hi

I'm having the same problem by the looks of it.

Filezilla copies a 100 or so files over and then VirtualBox crashes.

Same issue.

Windows 7 64bit host
Fedora 11 guest
Filezilla ftp transfers through NAT

Reliably crashes VirtualBox GUI

[Cody Craven]

This issue also sometimes uninstalls the VirtualBox Guest Additions which must be reinstalled to regain functionality provided by Guest Additions.

Just installed the latest version of Virtualbox.

Problem with FTP transfer still exists in this version for me.

What is the difference between a home server and an ftp server? I understand how an ftp server can be used to access your files from home, when you at the office, or vice-versa, but what is the difference between that and a home server?

Do you use bridged or NAT networking in VM?

Just adding confirmation of the problem

Win XP x64 host
Win XP x64 guest

Filezilla 3.3.0.1 and FireFTP 1.06 (Firefox 3.5.5 add-on) both exhibit the same issue; will transfer some files (sometimes over 200, sometimes 5) and then guest aborts. Same set-up on host works without issue.

Details added to the above ticket

I'm using NAT in answer to the above question.

You have to use Bridge for ftp to work reliably and speedy.

vbox4me2: anyway it should not crash VM or VBox.

No but there is a difference between limits of a function and a bug
