Large file fails to transfer with "Error: Passive socket timeout" #22

Closed iandevlin closed 9 years ago

iandevlin commented 9 years ago

When trying to transfer a large file (822MB) it constantly fails to transfer, aborting before it's finished with: " failed to transfer because Error: Passive socket timeout"

I have tried different values for the "keepAlive" setting (and also "timeout" which jsftp has), with the same results.

It works fine on smaller files.

Any ideas on what I might be able to change?

Hmm, I have not personally tested with a file that large. I can try something this week and see what i can do. It seems jsftp does have support for streaming data through sockets, using their getPutSocket method might help but Im not sure on a file that large. With the current plugin I don't think there is anything to configure to make it work apart from updating the source to try using the getPutSocket method of jsftp.

Hi Robert, many thanks for your swift response! It's not the end of the world for me if this doesn't work, as I can still manually transfer the file over WinSCP and it doesn't need to be transferred that often.

I will try what you suggested though when I have a moment to do so.

Thanks again.

Ok sounds good. I will go ahead and close this out for now and make a note to add the streaming option for large files. Thanks.
