FTP Scheduler Leap Year patch
1. Introduction
This guide details the steps to fix the issue with the FTP scheduler program uploading data on the 29th of February which occurs on leap years. The verification should be set back to true (enable) the following day.
2. Method to Fix
Firstly make sure FTP Scheduler is closed.
Then download the following ftp_scheduler.jar file:
www1.soil.co.uk/downloads/ftp_scheduler.zip
Unzip and place this file in the program file location that the FTP Scheduler is installed to, replacing the existing ftp_scheduler.jar. This will most likely be located in:
C:\Program Files\FTP Scheduler
Once this is done navigate to the sessions folder:
C:\Program Files\FTP Scheduler\sessions
This will contain text files of saved sessions for any projects running on your FTP Scheduler.
