Spencer- >From your brief description, there could be a number of possibilities as to why you get timeouts.
For the "visibility" of files via FTP... that's either a Firewall issue between your workstation and the near-end T1, a Firewall issue between the Server and the far-end T1, or the most likely issue- configuration/misconfiguration of the FTP Server itself to not allow LISTING access. Some FTP Servers (such as MS IIS) can be configured to allow READ access while at the same time disallowing LISTING access. The end result is your Web Browser/FTP Client won't display the contents of the directory... but if you already know the name of the file in that directory, you can still request a copy of it thru the READ Access attribute. Kinda like blindly reaching behind a cabinet for something that fell behind (and you say it fall behind)... you can't see it because of how close the cabinet is to the wall, but you can at least reach your arm behind to try grabbing it. For the timeout issues of larger files, I would look at the egress device (Hub or Switch) the Server is connected to for packet failures, the Egress Router for queuing misconfigurations or packet failures (specifically on the WAN interface). If there is a firewall on the Server side of the connection, check its configuration and log files for errors too. Do all of the same steps on the client side of the WAN Link. Hopefully, you'll spot the issue. It could always be as simple as a bad switch/hub port or a bad cable! Good Luck!

I can only copy small files from one location to another. When I try to copy large files it times out. When we try to ftp files you cant see the files. Any thoughts would be appreciated. ===== Spencer Plantier Internet Solutions Engineer Cell 919-606-0049 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
