Re: FTP limitation

I use WS-FTP 95 without problems, but most of the stuff that I upload is
pretty small.

Another option, which I have used at various jobs, is FireFTP for Firefox.
We used it to upload large files, but I can't recall the sizes. It was
pretty easy to download, install, and use.

you did not indicate which version if ws-ftp, and also if any indication of
limit on the "ftp server".
Anything in the ws-ftp log? Normal ending? Your ftp server should have a log
as well.
Any possibility the file has some sort of terminating character at that
point in the file?

Some notes on a older ws-ftp install doc Both WS_FTP Server Web Transfer
Module and Internet Information Services
(IIS) have limits on the size of file that can be uploaded. When a user
tries to upload a file that is larger than the Web Transfer Client's maximum
upload size, the Web Transfer Client displays an error message at the top of
the main page (Transfer.aspx).
If the upload exceeds the IIS maximum upload size, the browser displays a
page error and does not return to the Web Transfer Client page.
Though we cannot change the browser behavior, both of these upload values
can be set in the web.config file (C:\Program
Files\Ipswitch\WebClients\ThinClient\Web.config).
Web Transfer Client maximum upload size is set in the <appSettings> section:
<add key="MaxUploadSize" value="50"/>
The value is in MB, so the maximum upload size for the Web Transfer Client
is 50 MB.
IIS maximum upload size is set in the <httpRuntime> section:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151"/> The value is in KB, so the maximum
upload size is 1 GB.
The IIS limit can also be set in other locations, namely machine.config, and
IIS metabase, though we recommend using the web.config settings.

I have been struggling with an issue for several months and am getting no
resolution from those I am working with, on all ends.
I am trying to FTP (using WS-FTP) a text file from an FTP server to a
local machine - have tried Windows XP and 7 with no differences. The file
gets "truncated", chopped down to 3,260,000 bytes if it is more than that.

We get the entire thing if it is less. I get no errors on either end.
Anyone have any idea what might be restricting this file transmission
size? I tried it from my home and it worked so I am guessing there is
something network related on our front doing it, but we cannot figure it
out. Any help is appreciated.

Dave
