This may seem really silly to ask, but how much time is elapsing before the timeout error? 900 seconds should be giving you 15 minutes.
What happens when you try to download it with a regular FTP utility? If you check the server's network usage during the download, does it show incoming traffic? If you look at a stack trace, what is it doing while it downloads? Do you have any firewall settings that might be timing out TCP sessions? Are you using passive FTP? If you run netstat on the server while it is transferring, what ports do you see in use, and what is the status of the connection? If cfftp uses a temp directory to write files to, can you watch it and see if your temp file is growing during the transfer? (<cf_root>/runtime/servers/default/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/ might be the location of the temp dir, but it's a guess) ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312104 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
