I don't remember the details but about 10 years ago, I found that FTP would fail after "x" number of files during the same FTP PUT. If I remember correctly, it had to do with a max number of sessions or something like that. The number kept on incrementing with each successive file until the number hit some max. I don't have the foggiest idea where the max number was specified and I'm not 100% sure the situation was as Fran describes it.

If I'm wrong, I'll pay the $5 the next time I'm at SCIDS.

Well if I knew what SCIDS is I would attend so I could collect :-).

All of the FTPs are going to the same network drive.  The command
line FTP responds with:

        ftp 10.1.nn.nn
        VM TCP/IP FTP Level 3A0
        Connecting to 10.1.nn.nn, port 21
        220 Microsoft FTP Service
        USER (identify yourself to the host):

I did have a hunch that I was overloading the FTP server so I have a
3 second delay between each VMFTP execution.  Maybe I should raise
that.
