One thing worth pointing out is that *.* is a DOSism, and is not required
for ftp, and may actually PREVENT transfer of files you are trying to
transfer (if they don't have a . in them)... You should simply do a
mput *
except perhaps if the originating system is a windows system, but I think
its ftp client still behaves this way... don't have a Winblows system
handy to test it tho. Pretty sure though, as that inOperative System does
allow filenames without extensions now.
Also, though I'm not sure it makes a difference, it is not clear whether
you are trying to limit a file size or remove such a limit.
