Using ws-ftp professional 12.3. I really think the issue is something local and not on the ftp server we are going to since I could do the transfer from home and only have the problem from here at work from multiple workstations.
We do not get any errors on either end - both think the transfer was successful. Data in file varies so I do not think a terminating character would be in the same spot of the file each time.
Thanks for the ideas - still looking.

you did not indicate which version if ws-ftp, and also if any indication of limit on the "ftp server".
Anything in the ws-ftp log? Normal ending? Your ftp server should have a log as well.
Any possibility the file has some sort of terminating character at that point in the file?
Some notes on a older ws-ftp install doc Both WS_FTP Server Web Transfer Module and Internet Information Services
(IIS) have limits on the size of file that can be uploaded. When a user tries to upload a file that is larger than the Web Transfer Client's maximum upload size, the Web Transfer Client displays an error message at the top of the main page (Transfer.aspx).
If the upload exceeds the IIS maximum upload size, the browser displays a page error and does not return to the Web Transfer Client page.
Though we cannot change the browser behavior, both of these upload values can be set in the web.config file (C:\Program Files\Ipswitch\WebClients\ThinClient\Web.config).
Web Transfer Client maximum upload size is set in the <appSettings> section:
<add key="MaxUploadSize" value="50"/>
The value is in MB, so the maximum upload size for the Web Transfer Client is 50 MB.
IIS maximum upload size is set in the <httpRuntime> section:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151"/> The value is in KB, so the maximum upload size is 1 GB.
The IIS limit can also be set in other locations, namely machine.config, and IIS metabase, though we recommend using the web.config settings.

Subject: [PCTECH] FTP limitation
I have been struggling with an issue for several months and am getting no
resolution from those I am working with, on all ends.
I am trying to FTP (using WS-FTP) a text file from an FTP server to a
local machine - have tried Windows XP and 7 with no differences. The file
gets "truncated", chopped down to 3,260,000 bytes if it is more than that.
We get the entire thing if it is less. I get no errors on either end.
Anyone have any idea what might be restricting this file transmission
size? I tried it from my home and it worked so I am guessing there is
something network related on our front doing it, but we cannot figure it
out. Any help is appreciated.
Dave
