Sorry for the delay in responding. I deployed this solution at our customer site yesterday and it did this every time it ran. It never successfully connected to the FTP server. Since the customer site is a hospital, I can't really do much debugging in that setting.
But, I can run in the debugger here at home (my work location). Unfortunately, it rarely happens here although it does happen every once in a while. So I am very open to running this in the debugger if there are things that can be done to help determine the problem and the solution.
Is it possible that something in the network (firewall configuration perhaps) is causing this problem? Could it be that FTP service is blocked by the customer's firewall settings? Is there something else that could account for this? Given the lack of information in the log, this is a very difficult problem to understand. I'm just not sure what is going on but I do have to get it resolved quickly as I only have until Monday to fix the problem. I may have to try a different FTP solution if this one is not going to work although I'm not sure another FTP library (or doing it directly through Windows) is really going to work any better since I don't know what is causing the problem.
