@botg: Do you know any? Linux, Mac and Windows 8+ don't count.

FreeBSD maybe? ;)

Seriously though, why wouldn't Linux, Mac and Windows 8+ count?

Mac: Walled garden approaches are not for me. Boycotting Apple and Google for many years now.
Linux: As much as I want to love Linux, we simply cannot become friends for some reason. 100% of my stuff is non-Linux.
Win8+: Do I need to explain that further? A nightmare in privacy and level of control, I hate them with a passion. Where I can't prevent it, I'm using them, seriously crippled and contained, but, I'll never fully trust that hipster sh*t.

However, my Win7 does not exhibit any of the problems described here. Everything is working fine.

so the update is not written correctly and everyone is forced to use something else or update windows. Blame it on that it worked before so the problem is programming error.

Is the Windows 7 fully updated?

If an error only happens on Windows 7, there will not be any attempt to fix it, as Windows 7 is not a supported OS of FileZilla, anymore. There is no block, and if it runs, consider yourself lucky.

There is no error and it works on some windows 7 machines. For anyone having this problem reinstall version 3.54.1 and it will work okay. I set check updates never but that does not work of course so you will just have to ignore updating it.

I'm having the exact same issue happening and I'm using Windows 11 Pro for workstation. It started happening as a result of updating to the latest version.

downloading server files that exist in the local directory does NOT prompt to see if the local file should be replaced even though its there.

What directories exactly? Several, like "Documents and Settings", "My Documents", "My Pictures" etc. are only virtual (Junctions, they don't actually exist). Such virtual directories cannot be accessed, you need to use the real target directories).

"Documents and Settings" → "Users"
"My Documents" → "Documents"
"My Pictures" → "Pictures"

Also note that directories only accessible by Administrators are not accessible if FileZilla is started normally (not as Administrator".

In newer Windows OS, there might also be problems the with Windows Sandbox feature, not sure.

You need to uninstall and install version 3.54.1 then it will work again. The upgrade has a flaw on some computers. Not sure what it is but I have one Win 7 machine the upgrade works on and one that it does not. Both Dell's but different models and same Windows 7 version.

Unsupported OS, unsupported versions. Sorry.

Windows 7 with ESU updates still works fine (SiMPLiX update pack).
