That may be a bug in the server configuration.  Some of my WebMerge 
customers upload literally hundreds of thousands of files to simple 
shared host servers without issue.

I'm not even working that hard, just using this form in a loop that 
iterates through the file list:

         put url ("binfile:"&tDestFile) into url tDestUrl

If this app is used only by yourself you may consider setting up a 
shared SSH key with the server and using a shell call in LC to rsync, 
which would be much faster and perhaps a bit more robust, and certainly 
more secure.
