    I have been getting a an error maessage that says"Can't open data connection" I spoke with my web hosting company and they told me that Fetch may be timing out. I am uploading a web gallery with 700 images so with the thumbnails and the image views that is 1400 images and it is taking about 45-60 min to upload. Can anyone tell me how to keep Ftech from timing out?

    Could you post the last screen-ful or so of the Fetch Transcript after you get this error? Choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu.

    Thanks,

    Jim- Here is the last transcript but the upload went through ok this last time so I don't know if the information you need is here or not. If I get the error again I will send you that transcrpit. I did make a change in my preferences. I clicked on "Keep connections active" I don't know if that is what made a difference or not
