After upgrading to v1.0.9.5, I received this message when trying to do a file transfer: "The connected VNC server doesn't support UltraVNC file transfer".
The computer on which the server is operating is running Windows XP SP3.
After more 2 000 000 (two million) views on forum for 1.5.0.x development versions... and 1.6.1.0, 1.6.3.0-dev versions
A new stable version, UltraVNC 1.6.4.0 and UltraVNC SC 1.6.4.0 have been released: https://forum.uvnc.com/viewtopic.php?t=38095

Re: "connected VNC server doesn't support UltraVNC file
Viewers are backward compatible but new server require new viewer.
In case you connect with an 1.0.8/Realvnc/tightvnc viewer, connection is made in compatibility mode, only using components that exist for all flavors. No FT.
You need to use the 1.0.9.5 viewer.
This viewer is compatible with 1.0.8.x and 1.0.9.x servers

Viewer version 1.0.9.5 fixed the problem.
Thanks for your response. Updating to the 1.0.9.5 version of the viewer fixed the problem.
If you need help with the documentation, I volunteer.

Re: "connected VNC server doesn't support UltraVNC file tran
Not really always.... I had 1.0.9.6 as server and 1.0.9.6.1 as viewer and file transfer was not possible. When I changed to the older viewer (1.0.9.6) it worked fine! Maybe a bug in 1.0.9.6.1?
