  I'm trying to locate the source of this problem, whether it's on my end or on the server-side. FWIW, this problem exists with all FTP clients, not just Fetch (v 5.7.1).

  I am uploading very large video files (~10GB) to the server for the cable network that is carrying the show. Every 1:00:59 EXACTLY, Fetch is forced to resume the upload. Here's the excerpted log

  Hi,

  It looks like either the server or a router is dropping your connection to the server when there's been an hour go by without a new command (in this case because Fetch is transferring a file that takes more than one hour to transfer). You might try one of these transfers from a different location (if you have a laptop) to see if it's an issue with your router.

  The good news is that Fetch will notice the problem and automatically restart the transfer where it left off, so you should eventually get the whole file across.

  Thanks,

  Is there any way to send a dummy command every 30 min or something?

  The FTP protocol does not specify what should happen if a client (like Fetch) sends a command while a previous command is still being handled. And even doing that might not fix the problem; some servers drop connections after a certain period of time elapses without the client starting a new file transfer.

  The real fix is for the server and/or router to realize that data is still moving, and to not drop the connection. The next best thing is for the client to automatically restart, as Fetch does.

  Thanks,
