Hi,
Thanks for posting that transcript. It looks as if the server thinks the download has succeeded, but Fetch does not think it's received any data.
You might try unchecking the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" checkbox in the General pane of Preferences. Does that make any difference?
Thanks,
Jim Matthews

Hi Jim,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Unchecking PASV does not appear to alter the situation. The progress indicator remains in the 'barber's pole' state indefinitely. An excerpt from the transcript is attached.
There are a number of mysteries. Fetch used to be able to upload and down load without problem to and from this FTP server. Small files (there are one or two 'gif's under 1kB) can be downloaded, but anything bigger can't be downloaded.
Fetch works perfectly on other FTP servers; for instance I downloaded 'Fetch_5.7.2._Help.pdf' from your site with do difficulty.
For what it's worth I tried downloading the 'log' file from 'ftp.pat-albeck.co.uk" using Perl's Net::FTP and that timed out without getting the file. No helpful error message unfortunately.
I have come to the conclusion the problem must lie not with Fetch but with the remote FTP server. Though what that can possibly be I haven't the faintest notion.
Regards,
Alan Fry

Hi Jim,
Further to my last post, I have raised the matter with the website host ('streanline.net') and received the following reply:
"We were able to connect to ftp at our end without any error and dowloaded an image (1-004.jpg) succesffuly without an error. Please be reminded that the TCP port usually used for FTP connection is port 21. Most often the reason for FTP time out is that your firewall or Internet service provider blocks this port or because your FTP client is NOT set to use Passive mode. First of all you should make sure that you use Passive mode with your FTP client. Then, if the problem persists, you should run a check of the connection between your computer and the port 21. If there is a problem with the connectivity you should try disabling your local firewall, or, if this does not help, you should contact your Internet Service Provider."
The connection (from the transcript) seems fine: it is on port 21; the firewall is not blocking (in fact it is turned off): the mode is set to 'Passive'. There is no point contacting (as they suggest) my ISP because there is no general connectivity problem whatsoever.
I can download small files but not big files. To add to the perplexities I find Fetch can open and list the contents of most of the folders but not all -- it hangs on some of the folders containing images. I cannot get into the folder containing the image Streamline quotes (/htdocs/sixties/images/1-004.jpg).
I am baffled by all this. If I were to send you the password for the FTP server would you be able to look in and see if you could throw any light on the matter? I may well be overlooking something somewhere. Without FTP I am stymied when it comes to doing any maintenance on the site.
With thanks again,
Alan Fry

Understood.

Suddenly it appears to be impossible to 'get' or 'edit' any file on the website 'www.pat-albeck.co.uk' which was originally uploaded by Fetch and for several years Fetch has been able to edit the files online.
Files on another website (www.afco.demon.co.uk) behave as expected, so the problem appears to be associated with 'www.pat-albeck.co.uk' rather than with the installation of Fetch. The version of Fetch is 5.7.2 installed on an Intel MacPro 1,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
A transcript of an attempt to download a file 'htdocs/log' is attached.
I would be grateful for any help to resolve this problem.
