File Upload Error w/ Proxy

fvboegeld · 09-02-2004, 06:33 AM

I'm having the same problem. Its not happening all the time, only with big files.

Please try adjusting your Upload Packet Size. The default is 4096, try 8192 or a couple other values.

This option is located in Preferences > Advanced tab

mm... we're using a proxy server.. so i think it might be related to this.

take this situation for instance:

FlashFXP -> Proxy -> FTP server

If you have a fast transfer from 'FLASHFXP' to the 'Proxy', but a very slow FTP server, what will happen? Will flashFXP wait until the 'proxy' has finished transfering the file to the 'Ftp server'?

btw, raizing the upload packet size didn't help

I'm not entirely sure what the outcome would be.
I have never personally tested this type of situation.

You might try enforcing a speed limit in FlashFXP

I tried it with a 9 MB Big file, uploading to the proxy goes around 300KB/s (30 seconds) but after the upload reaches 100%, speed drops down until 0KB/s and 3 minutes later the file becomes 'transferred successfully'.. so it takes some time but the file will get there...

This might explain why some people are getting timeouts after transferring files...

Any thoughts?

Based on your results I would have to agree. Of course this would only apply if they were using a proxy server.

In this case the user would need to adjust the transfer timeout value to take the delay added by the proxy into consideration.

It might also depend on the proxy server, Some proxy servers will only accept data as fast as they can send it to the destination.

Does your logs look something like this... I think maybe it's something to do with pasv mode being off... Because of the proxy do you have to turn pasv mode off?

Does your logs in the status window look something like this...

fvboegeld · 09-07-2004, 05:15 AM

This is exactly how my log file looks like. But if you check the uploaded files afterwards, they all seem to be complete... very strange...
