1998 files only?

Is there a reason why I can only upload a max of 1998 files into any folder on a server?

What can I change to set it to hold more?
I never see that happen before last time on another server.

Any advice?

Thanks

the files are on the server,but ftp doesn't show more then that amount.
i didn't get an answer.

if you cant upload more files,that means the hard drive is full.

 

Try using another FTP program

 

I've read that problem on other forum too:

Seems a 2000 limit set by server configuration.
2000 - 2 = 1998.
Minus 2 for file "." and file ".."

 

The solution that i did to this kind of problem was to categorize and even archive the files on a day to day or monthly basis. In which this could prevent the listing done of any FTP client of over 1998 files. any more than this could result to error in FTP client.

 

Sometimes catergoring may not be a solution.

I just found this... This might help

You have to change your ftp config file on the server to show more than 2000 files

Mine is...

# 'ls' recursion limits. The first argument is the maximum number of
# files to be displayed. The second one is the max subdirectories depth

LimitRecursion 20000 8
