Files in directory truncated to 2000. TotalCommand or ISP ?

Post by *wheeloftime »

I hope someone can me give me a clue/solution on this:

I use the directory synchronization feature of TC a lot and last week I ran into a problem of which I am not sure if it is due to a restriction within TC or has something to do with my ISP ?!

What happened is that I now have over 2000 files in one of the directories of my FTP-account and when I want to synchronize it with my local directory I get a message that the listing is truncated to 2000 on the side of my ISP's FTP space. This makes it impossible (as it seems) to get a correct synchronization ?
My ISP uses:
220-=(<*>)=-.:. (( Welcome to Pure-FTPd 1.0.13a )) .:.-=(<*>)=-

and I get (last part):
CWD media
250 OK. Current directory is /www/media
PWD
257 "/www/media" is your current location
Haal directory op
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (212,61,15,18,36,157)
LIST
150 Accepted data connection
Download: 210,322 bytes, 220.6 kbytes/s
Wacht op de server...
226-Options: -l
226 Output truncated to 2000 matches

I can't split the files in this directory as it is generated by my cart software this way (Shopfactory).

Thanks in advance !

just an idea... try SmartFTP, or another FTP only program. If that lists only the first 2000 entries in that path, it's a server issue ;)

This seems to be a server limitation. Do you use a trial version of that server?

@Christian:
I have no idea if my ISP uses a trial of that software, I can't imagine they would as that would be outrageous if you ask me. I have a rather expensive business account with them and if that turns out to be the problem they can KMA :lol:
I will do as bytalized suggested and re-install one of my previous FTP programs to see if I get the same result.
I was so happy to only have to rely on Total Commander :D to do all the jobs for me :cry:
Anyhow, I'll you all know later what I could find and thanks for the replies!

Grtz,
Howard

A little update of what I learned:

CuteFTP has the same behaviour/message as TC and I didn't bother to try any other FTP program. I called my ISP and one of the techs confirmed what I reported. If it is simply a matter of configuration of the open source FTP server Pure-FTPd I don't know (yet). I hope, as promisde, to get a call back tomorrow (with the problem solved :lol: ).
I'll let you know what comes out.

Grtz.

No call back (I would almost say; as to be expected :( ) from my ISP.
I'll call them myself again to learn what is going on but as the problem is clearly not related to TC I guess I shouldn't waste any more TC forum space to it :)

Final remark: TC rules :D

Cheers,
