Hi Red Thanks, I had wondered about connection limitations, but frankly I'd be surprised if that were the problem. But as we are on this subject, I use proftpd and the MaxClients value is not set yet. As I understand it I can set MaxClients to 'none' which removes any maximum restriction. But what is the default number of connections allowed?
