Hmm, For some reason the FTP on my NEW machine wants to close connections after just like a minute, and uploads time out around 4-5 minutes into things. (Althrough small stuff works fine).

Does anyone know if reinstalling FTP would do the trick? I tried via the WHM RPM manager, but didnt fix things.

Well, from the look at Darkfire001 posting, it looks like he is using *nix and Bulletproof FTP although good, it only works on the Windows environment. I guess that's probably why he cannot consider it.

If you're switching around anyway, I highly encourage you to check out vsFTP. It's very fast and very secure.

Okay, what I did was switched to Pureftp, and then it still wasnt working.

I was literally ripping my hair out when I tried some other FTP Servers and realized :o NO FTP servers were working on ANY servers I tried. So then I tried turning off the culprit of most internet problems for me Windows Firewall, which somehow turned itself back on after a recent update....

Problem solver, and Pureftp > Proftp by far.
