FTP problems

Slime101 · 10 Jul 2006 at 09:50

I'm using smartFTP, trying to upload a newly modified site based on a shopping cart system however it sets off fine uploading the files but then will just stop, saying server timed out, refused connection or somthing else.

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Why is it that i have to try 2/3/4 or more times to get all the files up onto the server?

Add SmartFTP to the exception list on windows firewall, see if this helps. Also make sure programs are blocking the program.

Thing is, it cant be the firewall as the transfer starts ok, and will do several hundred files/folders and then die, i've even tried it with firewall disabled and it still does it :mad:

Just looked on the Smart FTP forums and this is all they have http://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/index.php/58

And this one.

Hmm, they all suggest no connection can be made, mine works, but drops out part way through large transfers.

The second page recommends upping the timepot, http://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/index.php/connection-timed-out-f111.html

Dunno if you have tried it.

Also try another FTP like Cute FTP and see if you still get the error.

I'm trying the good old trusty ws_ftp

How does that ftp react ? Any problems.

Seems to have worked fine using ws_ftp, i also tried cuteFTP and that failed in the same way that smartFTP did...

Very odd, but at least one worked so i can finish off my work properly

where are you uploading too ? ....... a remote server ? it could be the actual server itself.
