Hi Sivakatirswami,

I had this same problem with my FTP program.  Dave Cragg brought the  
OS X maximum file open limitation (and maybe Windows) to my  
attention.  Maybe something like this is affecting your solution.  If  
that is the case, I would find the number that does work for you and  
then add a little more code that will batch the files instead of  
throwing them all at the system at one time.  This is just a thought.
