About a week ago I was uploading images from home and getting an error message about after every 5 messages. I was only uploading about 50 files, so I ended up getting through it after many many reconnects and such.

Today I'm trying to upload a lot more, and it got through a lot more then 5 messages, I'm getting the same error message. Here is the last few lines of the FTP logfile (XXX's put in by me to mask information):

==============================

150 Connecting to port 2677

==============================

I'm now uploading from work, but this is basicly the same thing that was happening to me at work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm currently using WS_FTP ftp client since that is what I have always used and I'm use to it.

Oh, and today it's on FTP02.powweb.com

But when I was getting the error about a week ago from home, i believe that was to server space.powweb.com

Maybe FTP is too busy with too many users.
Have you tried passive mode?

Often, I have much less probelm with passive mode.

as a side note, WS_FTP sucks major *censored*
if you want a freeware FTP server, try smartFTP, it's free for personal use

Putting it into passive mode worked great.

One of the reasons I still use WS_FTP is basicly because I've alwaysed used it and I know how to basicly do anything with it. (And now know to use passive.)

Other then smartFTP, what other FTP clients to people recomend (pay or free). If I find something I like, I'm always up to switch!

I like SmartFTP. Very nice to use and full-featured.
