I bought a hosting last week, now when I am uploading my php files via ftp its showing that too many ip connections and its not allowing me to upload the files. Any idea ?
That you bought great hosting That's happening some times if your trying to upload many files at once
That is normal. You can have max 8 simultaneous connection to the FTP. If you exceed it then you will face this problem.
But I have only connected to the ftp................or what may be the reason ? You mean I can only get 8 connections to my one account or for the whole server.
The FTP Server has a limit to how many simultaneous connections you can have via your FTP program. For example, with WS_FTP, I have it set to 10 simultaneous connections as that is what my host allows. This means that I am uploading an entire site with lots of files, rather than each file getting uploaded one at a time - they get uploaded 10 at a time and my FTP program keeps track of everything. You may have yours set to more connections than your host allows and this would cause the too many connections error. My suggestion is start with 2 simultaneous connections and increase it by one to find out what the max is - or simply ask your hosting provider to tell you.
In your Site Manager, click on the site you want to adjust, then on the right side of the manager, click the Transfer Settings tab. Adjust the maximum number of connections to a number your provider will allow simultaneously.
Why don't just zip all the file then extract it later when you done uploading. Wont even use more than 1 connection ^^
