The logging on FTPeek is great...except that I don't know what it all means. The actual error message is "java.lang.NullPointerException". Am I using the wrong version of Java? Which is required? Or is it a permissions issue? Or...? Here is what's in the log:

Howard, thanks for posting that error information. The long stack trace you see there in the error log lets us quickly trace where an error is happening. In this case, the error was happening because FTPeek couldn't establish a network connection to the specified computer to get the public key. I've posted a new version of FTPeek, 1.353, that gives a clearer report off that error.

Thanks Jesse. Turns out the issue was that I thought the server was SFTP but it was really FTPS. So the error was mine, though I appreciate that you made the quick update to provide better error messaging.

Thanks,

Howard

I'm getting an error when I click on "Parent directory" from sample file "FTPeek Sample Client" any suggestions?
