Re: FTP GET Failing on Large Save Files

["Jay Peasley" <jpeasley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mark/Brad,

Yes I set the session to Binary with the BIN command prior to the GET.

I forgot to mention that it occurs on a 56k line and it happens on both
ISP's that I use, and I can duplicate the problem on Win95 and Win98 also.

The only commonality I can find is the slow line(56k) and as/400, but more
importantly the 400.

I haven't experienced the PUT problem. Last night I PUT a 36 meg file on one
400 and couldn't GET a 5 meg file from the same 400.

It is very frustrating, cause I am up to my ears in alligators on a data
conversion project and I can't get the data off to send them.

I was hoping the PTF meister, Neil, would have one handy to list. ;-)

Jay
