High Memory Usage

If the Transfer Engine (SDK) 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 help alleviate this problem.   

Successful items are removed even if tasks were 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 remove successful items from the queue

  1. On the main menu, click Tools > Global Options (or press ALT+F7).

  2. Expand the Transfer node, then click Events. The Events options appear.

  3. Select the Remove successful transfers from the queue automatically check box, then click OK.

To disable logging

  1. On the main menu, click Tools > Global Options (or press ALT+F7).

  2. Expand the General node, then click Logs. The Log options appear.

  3. Clear the check boxes for logs you do not need.
