Timeout issues with FTP? (wodFtpDLX / wodFtpDLX.NET)

by Henri Cook, Monday, May 10, 2010, 15:42 (5092 days ago)

We use wodFtpDLX.NET to transfer files to an (admittedly) slow server in New Zealand from the UK.

Using Filezilla I get about 61k/s at best, using PASV. When we use the WOD component we often get timeouts, often after part of the file has already transferred. e.g. 50MB may transfer then the connection will 'timeout' and trigger an error. We don't see this issue with any of the other clients that we deliver to

My question then is: Is there some sort of minimum theshold which could be making the FTP component time out. And is there a way to alter it?

It could be packet loss but I can't ping the box to confirm it, the admins have blocked pings and the timezones make them pretty unavailable to us.

We have quite a complex app and we haven't upgraded our library version for a while - i'd rather avoid it if possible unless there is some guaranteed fix that someone knows about in later versions - our version is: 2.7.3.325

May I say how nice it is to work with components so complete and self-explanatory that using them in my application is as instinctive as though I wrote them myself?
