I've recently bought cuteftp XP 5.0 (5.0.4 build 54.8.6.1) and it connects to my service provider with no issues at all.
I'm able to change directory, create new directories and various other admin tasks again with no issue, however I'm getting a timeout on xfer of files over 1K.
If I send a file as I did this morning of a file of 95bytes the xfer is instantaneous, however a file of just 1.1K or bigger just sits there and eventually times out and goes for an automatic retry but never succeeds.
The log events for this failure look like :
STATUS:>Sending <file name>
COMMAND:>PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode STATUS:>Connecting data socket...
COMMAND:>STOR <file name>
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for <file name>
STATUS:>Send successful
STATUS:>Time: 0:00:01, Efficiency: 7.97 KBytes/s (8164 bytes/s)
ERROR:>Timeout
As you can see I have passive mode set, and I have firewall settings enabled as recommended by my provider, I've also tried various combinations of passive and firewall settings off and on but all to no avail.
I've checked what's stored in my account on the server already where I have 500Mb of web space and I have only a few Kbytes from some of the <1K xfers I've tried so it's not a space issue either.
Any ideas what might allow files less than 1K bt timeout on anything over 1K?
I'm connecting over 1Mb ADSL line 1152 downstream and 288 upstream.
Thanks in advance
1. Try a different FTP client?
2. Try a different connection (such as dialup)?
If number one solves the problem, it's a setting on CuteFTP.
If numer two solves the problem, it's related to your connection, most likely a link PMTU issue.
If neither of them work, it's probably a problem on your service provoider's end.
Thanks for the quick reply, in answer to your questions:
1. I've tried terrapinftp and leech again with no success, leech failed to even refresh the directory on the remote server even with PASV mode set, Terrapin logs in and can do the admin type stuff but won't xfer anything over 1k like cute.
2. This was one of my next steps, the only other connection I've got is dialup so I'll give that a go and let you know if there's any joy.
Thanks again for the tips :-)
