HELP: Problems with FTP connections

[ecobo]

I use CuteFTP to upload files on my PowWeb host. But sometimes I have troubles doing this and I use WebFTP. The problem with WebFTP is that I cannot upload large files (photos). It works fine with small size files, but if I try to upload a large photo I receive a message: "The document contains no data". Does anybody know a reason for this behavior. Is there a limit for the size of the files.
Today I cannot connect with CuteFTP and I cannot update a photo on the site. :confused: :confused: :confused: I receive a message that says: "The server forcibly closed the connection" etc.
Please help! Am I doing something wrong?

The error suggests a loss of the connection due to a timeout or a server reboot. Which FTP server is it?. I might be wrong but I don't think there is a filesize limit in WebFTP. Theoretically, with any FTP upload the limit would be 2Gb.

Have you installed a firewall, router, antivirus lately?. 9 x out of 10 that's the problem.
Enable "Smart Keep Alive" 10mins should do.
Use ftp0#.powweb.com in OPS not localhost.
Toggle passive mode on/off.

No problem with other hosts. Only with ftp02.powweb.com
Have disabled the firewall and the AV program - the same.
This is what I get from the CuteFTP log:

After disabled the firewall and the AVP, webftp works, but CuteFTP still does not. :confused:
