Hi

I'm fairly new to Script FTP so apologies if I blunder along the way, I have set up about 10 scripts for syncing a remote dir to a local dir and 9 of these work with no problems whatsoever, however one of these (the one which has to transfer large files about 1-2GB) is having issues.

I'm connecting using FTP over SSL (explicit with data channel encryption).

I have checked that there is no errors in my script and after reading up I believe the router may be killing the connection because even though the data connection is alive, the manager is idle, I may be wrong but does ScriptFTP have a "Keep alive" feature I could try or do you have any other suggestions??

Using a client such as filezilla to download individual files presents no problems.

Many Thanks

No sorry I haven't been able to solve this. I believe that scriptFTP has problems with most files over 1GB but alas I may be wrong, still awaiting a response.

Cheers
Yes, ScriptFTP sometimes experiences problems with large files on some servers. It usually tries to recover the connection and resume the transfer, but sometimes it can't and we still do not know why

We are working on it. Any fix will be based on the current version 4 Beta

I will update here.
