It's impossible for me to upload vBulletin to a new domain I wanna start up cause my FTP client will never fully complete the transfer as it keeps timing out on me. My host tells me there is nothing wrong with the server and that there could be a bad link between my ISP and the server. WTF!? Has anyone experienced this before? I have tried numerous FTP clients with no success, as well as disabling my firewall. I havent changed settings or anything so I'm exhausted for ideas.
They could be right. Bad link between your ISP and the FTP server. Try to do a tracert and see how many hops it will take from your end to your FTP server. Check how often you get timeouts as well. Also if you can, try another ISP and see how it goes.. It wont also hurt if you try using SFTP.. Who knows! Zac
Hey dude, thanks for the advice! It was a wierd issue. I set up another computer for work purposes, and it seemed more then a coincidence that I started getting issues when I changed over. That seemed to be the problem, as I managed to complete the FTP transfer on a different computer with the same internet connection. I was getting time outs with a tracert, but from what I was told this was because of my firewall settings. I dont know to be honest. It was hell frustrating but I am just glad it's sorted out. Cheers
