FTP and SocketTime Out?

[John Patten]

Update...

FWIW...

The long delay required in making the inital FTP connetion from the Windows XP appears to be related to the Windows OS only. I tried the same thing from a Mac and the stack connected within 2-4 seconds.

Thanks!

Hi Andre... 

I added the LibURLSetFTPMode "active" in front of the ftp calls, but no luck. 

The process was working fine until Friday afternoon, that's when our network people began installing the new server. I also remember a Microsoft Update that happened Friday too. 

I guess it could be one of those two things...couldn't have been something I did... LOL. 

Thanks!

John, 

Hi there! :-) 

Maybe switching from passive connection to active connection will   
help, some server behaves better using active connections. 

Try inserting this before any FTP command in your script 

LibURLSetFTPMode "active" 

get back to us after that! :D 

Cheers
