Whenever i try to publish i get the error message "Value cannot be null Parameter name: s."
I tried around a bit, and when i wanted to create a new ftp target, i get the exact same error message when i click on the button "Login Credentials"
i already saw a thread regarding this problem, but i coudln't find any way to cope with it.
Funny thing: it worked just fine the last 8 months...
Edit: Stacktrace:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Edit: Just tried to edit my destination to anonymous login. This time the publish starts, it opens the login gui, and after i write in my login credentials, the error occurs again. It looks like Flare cannot save or load these login credentials. I just looked around, where should these be saved?

Re: Value cannot be null
I'm having this same problem: does anyone know what causes it, or how it can be fixed?

Re: Value cannot be null
I'd probably recommend that you contact MadCap Support. I think you are going to need to look in your log file to see exactly WHERE in the process this occurs so you can figure out what is causing it.

Re: Value cannot be null
I received an answer out of MadCap support that worked for me:
I'm running in Windows 7 64-bit, but I imagine the solution may be similar in any case of this particular error.
Hopefully this helps someone else!
Can you please try the following steps to fix this error:
1) Close all instances of Flare
2) Open the Start menu in Windows
3) Go to the Run option
4) Type: regedit
5) Click the "OK" button
6) Navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MadCap Software\Flare\ImageLists
7) Delete the "Global" key
8) Close the Registry Editor
9) You may need to re-enter your destination password in Flare

The path looks like this in Flare 2017:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MadCap Software\Flare\Projects\[your project]\Destinations\Destination-[xxxxxxxxxx]\ImageLists
