High memory usage

RESOLUTION

If the Transfer Engine of the CuteFTP works for extended periods of time, it begins to consume large amount of system resources, such as memory and hard drive space due to log and queue requirements.

You can set CuteFTP to remove successful items from the queue to solve this problem.

To remove successful items from the queue

1. Click Tools > Global Options. The Global Options dialog box appears.
2. Expand the Transfer node, then click Events.
3. Select the Remove successful transfer items from the queue automatically check box under After Transfer Events.
4. Click Apply and then OK.

Configuration Notes

• Successful transfer items are removed even if tasks are run without the user interface open.
• Each finished queue item takes up about 500 bytes of memory until the Transfer Engine is closed.
• Disable the logging function to improve resource management.

To disable logging

1. Click Tools > Global Options. The Global Options dialog box appears.
2. Expand the General node, then click Logs.
3. Clear the check boxes for logs that are not required.
4. Click Apply and then click OK.
