When using the FTP helper to allow LAN clients to connect to remote servers using active (PORT) ftp (because the remote end will not permit PASV) I run into timeout issues where every few minutes the FTP client hangs for about a minute. In the logs I see:

pftpx[pid]: #4463 client reset connection

I am transferring about one thousand smaller (1.4Mb) files - SD video frames.

Do i somehow need to update the number of connections the pftpx can handle? The problem seems far worse if I transfer multiple files at once (using FileZilla's concurrent uploads). The delays I describe above are with just a single file at a time.

I wonder... could it be that pftpx keeps the connection open to the server longer, and the server has a limit to the maximum number of concurrent connections? So the server could think that I am transferring more files at once than it allows because pftpx still has connections open even after they are closed by the FTP client...???

Thoughts?

Thanks,
