Somewhere between version 7.0.2680 and 7.5.3378 Downloading Files (HTTP) has stopped working for us. We never used an HTTP site to download files we used an FTP site.

To prove this I uninstalled the current version of SetupBuilder 7.5.3378 and installed version 7.0.2680. Downloading Files (HTTP) started working again.

I have read another post stating that most Corporations are blocking FTP downloads. I have spoken to all of our current customers and none of them are blocking FTP downloads and have no intention of starting. I understand that each customer base is different.

Because of the change to Download Files (HTTP) over a hundred scripts and 1000's of hours testing will be required. We have not touched any of our scripts since January of this year when .NET 4.0 redist was added.

My initial guess is http:// is being added automatically to the path. In turn my FTP path is being changed to http://ftp://whatever.whatever.com. I believe that is how #ftp upload works. I type in whatever.whatever.com and the path is modified to be ftp://whatever.whatever.com is added.

I also understand that #ftp upload is a compiler directive and "Download File (HTTP) is an installer runtime function.

Is there a work around for this? Has something been added that will allow me to Download Files via FTP?
