We have just released Xway 1.1.1. This contains bug fixes and improvements.
Improvements
-
Xway blocks adsbygoogle.js from running in the Web view. This is a Google Ads script which hangs when it is run from a page that is being viewed locally. Browser windows and tabs may still hang when a page is previewed in a browser. You can prevent this from happening by temporarily disabling the script or by installing a content-blocker browser extension.
-
Upload logs contain more detailed information if Xway is unable to parse a directory.
Bug fixes, including
-
Uploading to an FTP server that supports machine-readable directory listings (MLSD) no longer fails when the directory contains files or folders with space characters in their name.
-
Iframes are displayed in Xway’s Web view (this seems to have broken in recent versions of macOS).
How to update
This is a free update. You can update by choosing Check for Updates from the Xway application menu.
Enabling MLSD listings
If you previously disabled MLSD (machine-readable) listings by using Terminal to set an Xway preference, you can re-enable them by deleting this preference:
- Open Terminal (this should be in a Utilities folder inside the Applications folder on your Mac)
- If Terminal displays a message saying the default interactive shell is now zsh, you can ignore this
- Copy and paste the following line into the Terminal window:
defaults delete com.softpress.Xway SPUploadDisableMLSDForDirectoryListing
- Press Return
- If Terminal displays an alert saying that it would like to access data from other apps, click on Allow - this is a temporary permission that allows it to set a preference for Xway.
We recommend enabling MLSD listings if you previously disabled them. They contain more detailed information than LIST (human-readable) listings.
