Uploads Keep Failing

[jhndeere]

TCH Family,

 

I am having a recurring problem when trying to upload files via FTP to both of my sites. This is a 75mb file, previously I could queen up a hundred of these and never worry about it; however, for the past month it takes days to upload even one of them. I continually get the following error message:

 

“The control connection was closed due to the server being temporarily busy, full, or in the process of shutting down. Retry again later or contact the system administrator for assistance.”

 

FTP log is:

COMMAND:> STOR China2006_010.zip

STATUS:> Connecting FTP data socket 72.18.130.128:9586...

150 Accepted data connection

ERROR:> Can't write to data socket. Socket error = #10053.

 

 

Sometimes after only 1%, sometimes after 80% and then every % there after, it seems to be competly random

 

I know we’ve all heard this a thousand times, but I can honestly think of no setting that I’ve changed, or any software I’ve installed. One day it was working fine and then for the last 30 it hasn’t. My home router is the same as it always has been, and no new firewall or antivirus has been installed. What I’ve tried:

 

Switching to a different FTP client,

Using a different computer;

Using a different computer on a different ISP;

Using smaller files size.

 

 

I’m open to any suggestions on this as it is almost impossible now to upload any changes to my web page.

 

Thanks,

Jason

Try Filezilla and see if you get the same problems. http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

Almost forgot, I get this error message too:

 

COMMAND:> STOR China2006_010.zip

STATUS:> Connecting FTP data socket 72.18.130.128:16038...

150 Accepted data connection

ERROR:> Timeout (60000 ms) occurred on sending data to the server.

421 Timeout (no new data for 900 seconds)

ERROR:> Service unavailable. Try again later.

ERROR:> Control connection closed.

Peter,

 

No problems at all using FileZilla I transfered 100 small files and they all went with no problem (this was just a test, I usually would zip them).

 

Any ideas why??

 

I had tried: CuteFTP Pro, Core FTP, SmartFTP, and WS_FTP and they all had problems.

 

Thanks!!

No idea except I have found the same issues using ftp programs. Get similar problems using ws-ftp as well. Hence why I suggested using Filezilla.

 

It does have problems as well, but not as many. I generally transfer things in stages now.

 

It could be just congestion on the net causing timeouts.

I would try uploading it through cpanels file manager and see if it works. If not, submit a ticket and ask if they have changed anything on the server.

Make sure your FTP client is set to use PASV connections.
