Files won't transfer

Hi, first of all I love Foldershare, I've used if for years without any
trouble, until now that is. I have a Windows Vista, that shares a folder with
three Macs and it works fine. A forth Mac that I just invited to a new
folder, can receive all my files without any trouble, but files they place in
the folder for me to pick up, only appear with a placeholder. They've been
sitting there for days, but nothing happens, aside from "Receiveing" at 0%
and "qued by server." Any suggestions/ideas as to what I can do to be able to
download the files? As mentioned, the two-way transfer works great on all the
other macs, except on the last one I just invited to join a new folder.
Thanks!

Try disabling FolderShare encryption on all the Macs and the PC. On the
Windows version, that's: More|Settings|Transfers and clear the Encrypt
checkbox.

You're lucky. After more than an hour, I'm still "logging in". I knew this
would happen as soon as Microsoft officially attached their diseased name to
it.

This worked, but it is somewhat disconcerting to have to disable the
encryption...

Re: Files won't transfer

If one is not sending confidential files it doesn't matter to have that
setting on or off. The one thing I want to know is does this leave one's
system vulnerable to any sort of hacking or what not?
