• Corrected a minor cosmetic bug when right mouse clicking in the local tree on a non-selected folder, the cursor would change to an hour glass until the menu was dismissed.
• Corrected a problem where the function keys listed in the right mouse click menu, in the FTP Site Profile Manager tree, (F7 and F11) would do nothing.
• Corrected a problem when creating a folder short cut for the remote server, a local directory was also created.
