FTP and SocketTime Out?

[Andre Garzia]

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
andre
