Just googled it and it says: "file server running Windows Server 2003 with 1 GB of RAM can efficiently support approximately 100,000 remote concurrent file handles, regardless of the size of the files. If your users are likely to have more than 100,000 files open at a time, plan to split this load across two or more servers."
So it's not likely it's the cause, as there is only 1 file per user, and there is less than 2000 users. Also as the ftp server runs fine when restarted, and it takes couple of days to reach this issue, I don't think it's the os causing this. niklas, can you give a private email to send the netstat report to(when I'll have it)? As I do not want to make it public. Thank you. On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 12:49 PM, <a...@safe-mail.net> wrote: > Not sure regarding the file handles - how do I check it? I'm using windows > server 2003. I'm not too familliar with Windows 2003, but you can probably google around on max file handles. > By the way, every time it happens, I just restart the ftp server and it > starts working normally again.

Could you do a netstat -a when this happens so we can look at the state of sockets? /niklas
