FTP batch called by ISS dll hangs after 300-500 files

[Bernhard Sollfrank]

Hello,

i have to start a batch process from a dll to transfer
files created by this dll to remote ftp server. I created
a batch file:

ftp -n -v -i -s:D:\batch\ftpcmds.txt ftp-server

and a file containing the ftp commands:

user username password
lcd D:\batch\media
mput *.*
quit

It works pefectly when i start it from the dosbox. But
when i call it from the vb dll implemented in IIS (shell
("D:\batch\transfer.bat")), it does not complete the
transfer and hangs after 400-500 (small) files.

Anyone an idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bernhard.

Try piping your FTP session to an output file to see if you can follow
what's happening.

ftp -n -v -i -s:D:\batch\ftpcmds.txt ftp-server>D:\ftp.log

and/or

Dump each step to the file. IE
user username password * D:\ste1.txt
lcd D:\batch\media * D:\step2.txt
mput *.* * D:\step3.txt
