I have had great success when uploading a zip file that was under 1 GB. Once I start uploading files over 1GB, specifically 2 - 2.5 GB, I get the following errors:
1) Send failed at the Socket Level. The Socket may have been closed abruptly or timed out.
2) A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

I have the restart property set to true, the timeout limit set to 100000.

Has anyone else had these errors?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,
No, but not many people transfer files of this size. I've done some transferring of very large files without experiencing these type errors.
Do you see similar problems (aborted transfers) with this server when transferring such files using other Ftp utilities?
Thanks,

FYI - I did not have my FileType set to Image and I have had success. Do this make sense?

Hi,
I'm not really sure - perhaps it was too much for the server to do the CR/CRLF replacements required with ascii transfers in the timeout period specified.

There is a server issue for sure. After I replied, I did more testing and it failed again. I tried using your ListView Client sample just to ensure the code was correct and I got the following error:
"An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."

We are using Windows 2000 Server and we have the following settings:
- 100 connections
- 900 s timeout
- MS Dos format

Are there any other critical settings that we may need to set that you can think of?

Thank you K M Drake, your prompt support is much appreciated.

To answer your first question, clients are using CuteFTP and Rhinosoft, uploading large files over a GB at a time.

Thanks again,
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
The error indicates that the server is aborting the connection.
You could try toggling the Passive property, to see if that has any effect.
