Total stop during FTP

[christiaan boland]

Dear,

Ever since I installed 6.023, which by the way has been nicely enriched with the for me very useful hotlist and historylist , I have regularly a total stop of my PC when FTP-ing . Is this a reported/know issue with TC 6.023 or should I look at something else?

Thanks

Guess you had a Proxy- setting before and after new install haven't updatet it in wcx_ftp.ini.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I do not have any proxy-setting either before or after installation. Actually I installed in freshly after reinstalling a W2000 on a new HD since the previous disk got some HW problems.
The "total stop" maybe needs better description: Reset. or Reboot is better. Halfway an FTP session normally, although not always, sometimes earlier, sometimes later, but invariably only when FTP-ing with TC

I was forced to use Windows XP and at the same time started to use TC 6.

Now in the FTP upload Total Commander freezes when I copy large files or when I copy many files.

Incidentally, a similar effect occurs with the FTP.EXE utility that comes with Windows.

The FTP servers that I am dealing with are WU-2.6 and ServU-32.

The same TC 6 works fine in Windows-98.

Is it a known feature/bug?

 Hello !
• Maybe a similar problem :
http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=4023 ???
• You could attempt to test various values here :

Code: Select all

wcx_ftp.ini
 [General]
UploadBlockSize=xxxx

* The default value for xxxx is 512
Please, try to increase / decrease that value (256 and 1024 in example …)

- To be continued…

Thank you, I will try!

Well, I have increased the UploadBlockSize up to 16,384 -- now the transfer of my 450 files does not freeze but the files larger than 20 kB still upload trunkated ...

What next?

Why does it all work in Windows-98 but not in XP ???

[HansWolf]

I have just tried the upload with Windows FTP.EXE setting -w:16384, and am still having trunkated files:

ftp> binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> put DSCF0095.JPG
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for DSCF0095.JPG.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 351857 bytes sent in 1.65Seconds 212.99Kbytes/sec.
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for directory listing.
total 2752
-rw-rw-r-- 1 42032 10688 344064 May 11 15:17 DSCF0095.JPG

see -- the PUT command reports 351857 bytes uploaded while the DIR command shows only 344064 bytes stored! The same with TotalCommander's FTP client

• Hum... I can't test because I' have not a very fast connection like yours (I've only 128 Kbds, so in practice ~10 KB/s with my usual servers…).
* In anyway, it's quite abnormal to get truncated files.
• What about the real free RAM amount in your PCs (I suppose that you tested in two different PCs ?) ? - XP is much more greedy at RAM !
* On this point, I can't test, because my PC under XP-Pro has 1 GB -DD RAM installed…
Let's hope that the Author will have a look here ! High speed connections cause some problems, I guess he's working to improve that.
