Wannan tattunawa ta zama daɗaɗɗiya. Yi sabuwar tambaya idan ka na bukatar taimako.

After downloadeding the latest Java plugin, I start to receive "Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem" message when I try to run a download wizard. What do I need to do? BTW, IE does not have this problem.

I had no problem using a download wizard Java applet to download file to my computer from an SFTP site using Firefox. When I tried to do the same thing with Chrome, I was told to download the latest plugin. Once I did that, I receive the following message when I run the downlaod wizard:


The Java Wizard cannot run.

Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem.


I got the same message using Firefox and Chrome. However, I have no problem using IE to run the same download wizzard. Please help.

No. The issue has not been resolved.

This is probably an incompatibility between the upload/download Java Wizard and the latest version of Java. In order to use the Java Wizard, you can downgrade to the earlier Java version ( we had 1.6.0.23) or earlier. Otherwise, disabling the wizard through some option on the SFTP site will allow you to continue to transfer files without the wizard - if that option is available.

I had this problem with the MOVEit Java Wizard from the SFTP site we have from IpSwitch.

Hope this helps.

If the problem is with a site that is hosted using MOVEit DMZ by Ipswitch, please notify the site owner of the issue and ask them to apply the patch that is available on the support site to resolve the issue.

This is a better resolution than downgrading your version of Java that was updated due to security issues.
