in .NET FTP by (440 points)
Hi, i have been successfully using this FTP object for some time but have found that i am consistantly getting the following error if the file being sent is over 10MB.

IOException in Put(string,string,bool) : System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

I can send the same file using WS_FTP for example with no issues.

Is there a limit on the free version?

Here are some of the configuration settings i have..

ftpClient.RemoteHost = ftpSite;
ftpClient.ConnectMode = EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPConnectMode.PASV;
ftpClient.CloseStreamsAfterTransfer = true;
ftpClient.SynchronizePassiveConnections = true;
ftpClient.Connect();
ftpClient.User(ftpUsername);
ftpClient.Password(ftpPassword);
ftpClient.TransferType = EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPTransferType.BINARY;
ftpClient.BytesTransferred += new EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.BytesTransferredHandler(BytesTransferred);

Cheers
Grant.

There's no limit on the free version. With large file failures the commonest problem is the server timing out the client. Post a small segment of the log file that shows the failure & we'll take a look.

Hi Bruce, here are two logs, one that works followed by the one that fails..

The server has timed out the connection. You need a higher server timeout.

Is this a client setting or do i need to contact my ISP?

Yes you need to ask your ISP to set the server timeout higher. It looks like it disconnects you after 1 minute.

Wouldnt the tranfser fail when using WSFTP though?

It depends how fast it is. If WSFTP is written in C (I think it is, it uses OpenSSL) it is probably quite a bit faster than a .NET application running in a virtual machine.

Take a look at the WSFTP log and see how long the transfer takes. If it is < 1 minute, try a bigger file that takes > 1 minute.

Hi, sorry its taken so long to get back to you but i have just tried uploading a 15MB file using WS. No problems there. Any ideas?
Oh and it took well over a minute as well.

Have you got a log file from WS? Or try Filezilla and see if anything is in the logfile. Sometimes clients can send NOOP messages during the transfer to keep the connection alive.
