Hi, all. I've managed to get the CFFTP tag to successfully download a .zip file of 28 MB from a remote FTP server.
It seems that I needed to set the timeout attribute in the tag itself. It defaults to 30 seconds, which is represented in cfdump of the connection var as 30000. So, I assume 30000 is 30000 ms or 30 seconds. That 30000 was too short for the download, but a setting of 60000 ms or 90000 ms was more than enough, even though the download took longer than 60 or 90 secs. (?) However, a new error occurs right after the download finishes. When the next cfftp tag is run to close the connection, an error occurs stating: "The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: cfftp" Therefore, my cfmail tag does fire to send me a "successful download" message. Seems I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Make the timeout long enough to get the full download and cause a "exceeded the allowable time limit" or have too short a time for the download, which causes a "I/O Exception while reading" error. Clues? Hints? Suggestions?
