You're in the
iis ftp
group:copy folders with windows explorer option
iis ftp:
i have been trying to use the windows explorer option to copy folders from
an ftp site to a local directory. after starting paste or 'copy to folder' option, the message about calculating time to copy comes up but never is able to actually execute or finish. always gets a timed out. if its individual files i can select a high number, like 20 files at a time, and the copy goes just fine, no calculating just copy 20 files no problem. the folder i want to copy has some subfolders and probably 25ish files all told in all the folders, so its not a gigantic number. it just seems to have a problem with a folder instead of individual files is this some quirk thing or is there some setting that can make this happen? bob
t hanks for the reply
now that you ask there is one folder with a space in the name, so i guess thats another problem i also have to solve but with further testing (and all legit file names) the errors seem to be random. if there is only 1 folder, sometimes it works, sometimes not, when not working the error is (paraphrased) 'an error copying to ftp server, make sure you have permission' 'details a connection to the server cound not be established' (which seems to indicate some kind of timeout, but i connect to the server in many ways, like remote desktop connection, and never have time outs with those other programs) however, again, if i get the above error for one folder and say 20ish files in the folder and then just select all 20ish files, the copy always works fine, it always seems to have something to do with folders also if there is more than 1 level of folders, it always errors out with the above [quoted text, click to view] ".._.." <.._..@yourmom.mil> wrote in message news:zN0mj.41864$G23.25905@newsreading01.news.tds.net... > Are the folder names properly named with no spaces, quote marks, question > marks or other punctuation? > > (Allowed characters: numbers, letters, underscores, dashes) > > "bbxrider" <support@pacificmailandcopy.com> wrote in message > news:ex7LGXiXIHA.4880@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >>i have been trying to use the windows explorer option to copy folders >>from an ftp site to a local directory. >> after starting paste or 'copy to folder' option, the message about >> calculating time to copy comes up but never is able to actually execute >> or finish. always gets a timed out. >> if its individual files i can select a high number, like 20 files at a >> time, and the copy goes just fine, no calculating just copy 20 files no >> problem. >> the folder i want to copy has some subfolders and probably 25ish files >> all told in all the folders, so its not a gigantic number. it just seems >> to have a problem with a folder instead of individual files >> is this some quirk thing or is there some setting that can make this >> happen? >> bob >> > >
Are the folder names properly named with no spaces, quote marks, question
marks or other punctuation?

t hanks again
under the ftp site tab, its got 100000 connections and 120 second timeout under the messages tab where you can define a banner, there's a text box called 'maximum connections' that is blank i have ftp logs, they dont have anything that looks like an error, i can make that available if you want to see it my system event log, has a bunch of msftpsvc warnings that ieuser@ has timed out after 120secs, however the failures i'm getting don't even take 120 secs [quoted text, click to view] > If you have access to this server, try checking to make sure your "max SEE ABOVE> connections" is not set too low.

If you have access to this server, try checking to make sure your "max
connections" is not set too low. You might be hitting it with several file copies and actions going on at once (at which point the server will just refuse the next connection.) Also try switching to passive mode FTP, or from passive to active mode. (Just toggle it the other way from what it is now.) Anything in the Event Viewer or logs for the server?
