Odd FTP problem
I've been having a really strange problem for several months, and am posting on the offchance someone has some fresh ideas.
A company hosts a website on an IIS box (grr, boo, hiss hiss) and I ftp the access logs to my linux box where I can parse and generate some reports.
If I use NCFTP, FTP, NCFTPGET or any other ftp client, I can connect fine and navigate the directories and start a download. But after 60K or so, the download just freezes. The AvgSpeed keeps getting smaller, the timer keeps ticking, but the transfer just doesn't progress. If I ctrl-C it, I can initiate the transfer again, and it continues on. Sometimes I have to do this 5+ times to finish a 5 meg file.
Now first thing you think is it's firewalls, or the VPN tunnel - but the catch is, the transfers never fail if I use FTP from a Windows machine.
Anyone have any ideas at all? I've tried it on Redhat 7.3 and a Solaris 2.6 machine, both different versions of NCFTP.
Thanks!
