Re: intermittent problems using ftp_get ...Help!

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? My proftpd version 1.2.5 Server = Cobalt Raq4 Thanks again K "Red Wingate" <redeye@erisx.de> wrote in message news:200404131619.45918.redeye@erisx.de... > Maybe the max number of connections to the FTP server is reached?
