Nigel, Yeah, that sounds like regular rolling on the floor laughing material... It's a good tip though.

Re: What are some causes of Plugin and Component folder synchronization errors?
Kirk..Could be i have heard funny things happen with the new protocol.. I can tell you a funny story though about a load balancer. I was working on a project(non-4D related) in which we were setting up users mobiles phones. The setup made a connection into the company infrastructer, we kept getting stuck with some phones just not getting a connection..lots of angst and a big blame fest…threats to throw us out of the building etc…weeks in(when nearly finished) they found the load balancer had a IP in its balancing list that no longer existed-so when we started setting up 10 phones at a time one of them would get directed to that IP and nothing would happen! Good luck with network… Nigel Greenlee > On 15 Jun 2017, at 16:29, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Nigel, > I've narrowed it down to some issue with the network.

Re: What are some causes of Plugin and Component folder synchronization errors?
Nigel, I've narrowed it down to some issue with the network. There isn't anything particularly huge in the plugin or network folders. But watching the actual data transfer (that is, watching the graph on Little Snitch) I see that the download just stops and then 4D times out and puts up the "Couldn't sync Plugins folder" message. Just contacted my guy at the colo asking if they installed any load-balancing stuff as first thought. He says no. I wonder if this is an artifact of the 4D network protocol?

Re: What are some causes of Plugin and Component folder synchronization errors?
Kirk I don’t know if the following information has any relevance to you issue. A few months back I was testing something out that resulted in my creating large files(>2gb) inside my .4dbase(package). When i logged in from ‘client’ to server i noticed a significant load on folder synching and the synching would then fail. It is worth checking you have not ended up with something large in your folder that is synching to client.
