Re:iMac FTP Problem - 2006/06/07 15:29
Hey Titus,
Forgot about the known bugs!
I have used Captain FTP to upload my entire website at once, about 400 jpg's and gifs, as well as about 300 html pages and their enclosing folders with no problem whatsoever, using it's default settings. I'm running 10.3.9 on a 1.25 ghz PB, behind a router and a pro DSL connection - in other words, nothing really special for a business set-up.
Once in a while the internet doesn't cooperate, but not to an extent that I have to quit the program or anything, just re-upload.
I'm no expert, by any means, but in your System Preferences, do you have the box labeled "Use Passive Mode" checked? I seem to recall it is not checked by default, but Apple Care told me to check it after I got a new router and had some troubles, and it's worked fine since then...
Also in the C-FTP prefs, I wonder if you have the file size for segmenting set too low. If you're working with high-res images, that could be a problem, maybe try setting it at a higher number (mine is "6" but then I don't FTP anything bigger than about 2 mb), or fiddling with the other settings under "Transfer" may help. Seems as though some of them might cause problems by the way they are worded.
Beyond that, probably not related, but worth a shot - are you using the current version of the program? Are permissions correct? Do you leave the machine on overnight/weekends for the maintenance routines to run or use MacJanitor or something like that to clear the caches?
Failing those things, I'd try to post at the Apple.com discussions site to see what they think - some power users in the networking forum have helped me quite a bit in the past.
Good Luck,
Brian
