I've been using the FTPServer (on Win Server 2008) since around June of
this year. I don't need ftp around the clock. So this problem hasn't
been critical. But it has become very annoying. I have it configured
to run as a Windows service. I'll start the FTP service. Do ftp tasks
on and off for a few hours. When I come back hours later or the next
day and try to FTP, I get a "server closed connection unexpectedly" or
something like that when I try to send or receive. I then have to log
on to the server and bounce the ftp service. Everything is good to go
again, for a few hours. Then it's dead again the next time I need it.
Again, this is as consistent as clockwork. I've never had it stay up 24
hours. I looked at the FTP logs and see nothing irregular logged.
First question... does this sound familiar to anyone? Second
question... if no one has heard of this behavior until now, what kind of
debug can I do to try to figure out what is happening? (I've got an
extensive coding and debug background. So I can go under the hood if
necessary).
I like the server. I would just like for it to stay alive more than a
few hours.
BTW... not seeing anything like this on any of my other servers (apache,
tomcat, james) that are running in the same box.
Thanks.
Jerry
