I do remember something about a socket not being available a while back. Once the socket was bound to a port, it could not used for about 2 or 4 minutes(dependent on some ip value). The port/socket would have a "time-wait" status and could not be reused until this time had expired.
This was directly related to the number of data channels being opened/closed. I suspect if Fran throttles back the transfers, it may work. Fran, look at the ftp server. Are there any messages there about these unknown failures?? ____________________________ Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 "Its kind of fun to do the impossible."
