Get command hangs after large file download

Question

I have edtFTPj/PRO running inside an Oracle 10g database (loaded the Java code). I can GET small files all day long with no problem (less than 1MB). When I try Getting a 7MB file from the same site, the file downloads in less than a minute. I can edit the file, delete it, move it, etc. And the entire file is there. However, the GET command never returns control to the calling program (PL/SQL). I started the GET command, the file was downloaded in less than one minute, but an hour later the GET command is still hung. I have to kill my Oracle session.

Answer 1

Can you email a log file to support? Thanks.

Answer 2

I would love to. Where can I find the log files?

Answer 3

Sorry, I guess that was a bit vague. It's in the Developer's Manual. Here's a link:

Answer 4

im having the same problem now. Small files are ok, Larger files will cause it to hang.
The last row of the log is this:

DEBUG [FTPControlSocket] 29 Feb 2012 20:47:51.816 : 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for 010580.txt (16181191 bytes)
DEBUG [FTPClient] 29 Feb 2012 20:53:06.254 : Transferred 16338365 bytes from remote host

then a long wait and then:

com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.ControlChannelIOException: Read timed out
   at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPControlSocket.readLine(FTPControlSocket.java:1041)
   at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPControlSocket.readReply(FTPControlSocket.java:1076)
   at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPClient.validateTransfer(FTPClient.java:2547)
   at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPClient.getFile(FTPClient.java:2971)
   at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPClient.get(FTPClient.java:2356)
   at NERV.initiateMAGI.edgarFTP(initiateMAGI.java:295)
   at NERV.initiateMAGI.main(initiateMAGI.java:381)

The file is completed and i can open it. But the script it self does not proceed. Please help!

Answer 5

The server is timing out the control channel (or else a router is doing the same thing).

Answer 6

Hi thank you for the reply. Can you please explain a possible solution? I am a happy user untill I noticed this problem.

Im using edtFTP in a windows XP professional VMWARE on a windows 7 machine. Please advise!

Answer 7

Try increasing the timeout on the server (and check the server logs to see if this is what is happening).
