    Hi, I can´t upload files larger than 70MB. I´m sure there´s nothing wrong with my server, since everything works fine from a windows machine on the same connection. I´m running Fetch 5.0.4 | Mac OS X 10.3.9. Once it get to around 70-80MB transfer stalls/freezes everytime.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Double-check and make sure that your account on your server has space for such a large file. Running out of space on the server/in your account is the usual cause of large uploads that always stall around the same place.

    Have you confirmed that you can upload an equally large (or larger?) file successfully from the Windows machine?

    If you're sure this is not the problem, let us know and we will investigate further.

    Thanks,

    Scott,
    thanks a lot for your reply. I´ve meticulously checked all the possibilities you mentioned and I´m sure they are not the problem. I´ve also looked at the Fetch Transcript which doesn´t show any server-errors either...
    If you have an idea what I can do to analyze this problem, please let me know.
    Thanks, I really appreciate your help,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Could you post the transcript from one of the stalls here so we could take a look at it as well, just in case?

    Have you tried using the resume upload feature of Fetch to see if you can finish uploading the files after they stall? See the Resuming uploads topic in the Fetch Help (you can click on the link to get there) for more details.

    Thanks,

    Hi Scott,
    First, your suggestion regarding the resume upload feature works! I was finally able to put the file (in three chunks ), thank you so very much!!

    As to why it still stalls every 80MB is still a complete mystery to me. Here´s the transcript:

    200 Type set to A.

    I´ve cleared a dozen PWD commands from the file; I think they are due to the fact that I have >talk to server during long transfers< checked in prefs. (...had toggeled that to no avail)

    If you have any further ideas about this, please let me know, as I obviously would like to get this sorted out. In the meantime I would like to thank you again for providing such excellent support and making this work for me.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    We're glad to hear resume upload allowed you to finish uploading the file, and thank you for the kind words.

    Thanks for posting the transcript. Unfortunately we're kind of puzzled as to what the problem might be; as you said, there is no indication of problems in it, and we don't have other suggestions at this time. If the problems get worse (that is, they start happening with smaller files), let us know and we will try to investigate further. Sorry...

    Thanks,
