Please respond to
WSFTP_Forum
FTP uses two connections, one for sending commands and responses, and one
for transferring data.
On huge downloads, what may be happening is that the download over the data
channel is taking so long that the control channel times out from
inactivity. When WS_FTP tries to read the server response (which would
normally indicate a successful download) it gets a timeout error. Sensing
that the connection is dead, it auto-reconnects and reissues the last
command.
Try turning auto-reconnect off.
In the "_config_" section of "ws_ftp.ini" add the entry
AUTORECONNECT=0
This will turn off the global auto-reconnect which will affect all
connections including URLs and browser integration. Now when you download
a
large file, the program may report that the download has failed and/or that
the connection is dead (no socket), but it will not attempt to download it
again. It will remain in your transfer manager as failed/paused. If the
file on your disk is actually fine, then you can delete the record from the
transfer manager interface. In the case of a site-site transfer, you would
check the file on the destination site.
Locating ws_ftp.ini
Ws_ftp.ini will be in your "Sites" directory, which is in the WS_FTP
Application Data directory
For a default installation on Windows NT, this will be in:
"C:\WINNT\Profiles\<user name>\Application Data\Ipswitch\ws_ftp\Sites"
For a default installation on Windows 2000 or XP, this will be in:
"C:\Documents And Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Ipswitch\ws_ftp\Sites"
For a default installation on Windows, this will be in:
"C:\Windows\Application Data\Ipswitch\ws_ftp\Sites"
or
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ipswitch\ws_ftp\Sites"
If you've changed the location from the default, then hopefully you'll
remember where it is.
If you are connecting to a configured site profile, it may override the
default value for auto-reconnect in its own ini file. To be sure that it
uses the default, open the ini file that contains the site, and remove any
lines that say "AUTORECONNECT=<n>"
hope this helps
