Filezilla FTP question

[gatomike26]

I have had no problem downloading large files from 4 GB to even over 7 GB onto my pc from my seedbox using this program.

Last night I tried to upload a file of around 3 GB onto my seedbox so I could make a torrent out of it.

When I checked my PC this morning it said the whole file had transfered from the Queue to my seedbox server but when I tried to check the file and upload it too rutorrent to make a private torrent the file was half the size and missing data.

just wondering what would cause this and how to avoid the problem?

Oh man!Welcome to my world!I just spent 3 days trying to upload the Voodoo show,only to find out that the SEEDNET leased servers were having problems with my ISP(Virgin Media).Luckily they're changing over to another lease company that doesn't have that problem.
Have you checked the settings for Filezilla?Passive mode.....send ftp keep-alive commands(i think seednet disconnects after 15 minutes of inactivity).
Failing that,sit and watch the upload for a while to see if you're being disconnected(that's what i did),or if any particular files are just failing.

Good luck!

Maybe your hard drive isn't NTFS? Other formats can't handle large files very good.

It dissconects but keeps downloading so I think it is on passive mode.I tried the same dvd twice so maybe its certain files.Not sure there has to be away.Hopefully someone who knows more about this issue.

Does sound like the same problem i had.Drop customer services a ticket,it may be that the server has problems with your ISP like it did with mine.
Also,if it's a multi disc upload,try uploading 1 disc at a time,that's what i did too.

Good luck.

Also try using a different FTP client such as SmartFTP to see if you still have problems

Yeh,as Mike said,i also tried Leap FTP and Core FTP.

So what ended up working for you?I was just doing one disc.Also how do you know its on passive mode.

I have no problem downloading from the ftp to my pc just uploading.So not sure what the difference would be and why it's missing files.I have a dell inspiration thats only like a year old.Its not an ancient PC.


I get responses like this but things are still either uploading or downloading in the queue

Response: 226-Options: -a -l
Response: 226 3 matches total
Status: Directory listing successful
Response: 421 Timeout - try typing a little faster next time
Error: Connection closed by server

then it seems to reconnect .

Passive Mode is enabled by default on all FTP clients.

Now that I think about it, I was having upload issues as well and I used FlashFXP. My ISP is Comcast. The transfer would just randomly stop and fail every few minutes after awhile and I would have to manually resume it each time. Since switching seedbox providers to Pulsed Media, I haven't had any upload issues.

I think I found the issue when I was transfering overnight the PC would reboot for updates.But it looks like if I go back to the vts file I can upload the ones that did not upload or resume any file that did not upload.
