Ok thanks for that.
I am using BPFTP now, which I find really good. It does most of the work by itself. I was using cuteFTP first, but some features wouldn't work (probably operators error!)

Ciao now!!

Now here IS a dumb question..
If the server says "no hammering, set retry to > 60 secs" should I set 61 secs and number of retries to say 500! will this piss off the guy at the other end? Is this acceptable behavior? Or should I only retry say 20 times.

we ARE at the lowest level here....
Thanks
Ciao

Normally the operators of the FTP site will banned the I.P address that is hammering
their server every 5 secs, so I say following the wishes of FTP site is a wise move.

:D

Yes...

Always be sure to READ the server instructions BEFORE connecting!

Server software can be set to autoban people that try to connect more than what is specified...

I use 5 retries. If I cant get in after 5 times. I go back later. With a retry delay of 70 sec.

A small expression of my gratitude is here in place to the BetaNet Crew who help me with nfo and software to start my own FTP server.

So trminatr and Saskias BearCat this is dedicated to you. :cool: I am grateful for all the support you have given me.

BTW the server is running smoothly.

Thx a very happy dude ... Camino :D

Got a question here..... My firewall at work
will only allow FTP downloads from Port 21
yet most FTP sites seem to use every port imaginable <g> except 21. Am I screwed?
:confused:

it depends what firewall u are using. u can cofigure it to let ports be opened or close thats where u can block incomin and out going

Hi triminatr.
May I know how to prevent timeout error in CuteFTP, I got this error quite often when connecting to certain FTP.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening ? My connection is from a corp. LAN.
Thanks.
