FTP TIMING OUT

Question

Hi i have this problem

That drives me mad. In one of our clients the connection seemed to be timed out the moment it's sending the file. In the server i keep ending up getting 0 bytes files. As you see from the debugging below... I got IOException.

i have installed our program in other clients they're doing fine, it's just with this one.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Answer 1

Could be a firewall problem ... try using active mode instead of passive.

Answer 2

They're not behind firewall.
And we tried to set it to Active too. still didnt work.
At first i set the Time out to 1 min then tried 5 mins, got the same results.
The funny thing is sometimes it works but most of the times it doesnt work.
This is what confuses me.

As i said, i have installed the program in many clients they're fine, except for this one. soo confusing
