RE: FTP GET Failing on Large Save Files

[Eric DeLong <Eric.DeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     Have you experimented at all with the Passive subcommands? Here's 
     an excerpt from help on the SENDPASV subcommand.
     
     
     Use of the PASV subcommand to establish a data transfer connection 
     is recommended when establishing a connection through a firewall.  
     In some cases, data transfer through a firewall is not possible    
     without the PASV subcommand.

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
