Having FTP Batch Issues

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with uploading in batches using FTP. If I grab several files and drag them into my FTP client (I've tried using both Fetch and Cyberduck) the first file will upload okay and then stop. None of the other files will upload. The only way I can make it work is to upload each file one at a time. Why? I've done this before with still pictures and it works just fine, of course, still image files are not 200-500mb each (HDV output as PhotoJPEG at 95%). Any words of wisdom? Thanks!

Hi,

It seems like it was a timeout thing; the ftp server diconnected you after upload since no activity was done for 15 minutes. Apparently transmitting a file was not counted as an activity. I've increased the timeout to a longer period and asked the developers of the ftp daemon about this. We'll monitor if these errors go away now.

Thanks for telling us,

I just gave it a try using Cyberduck and didn't run into any problems uploading multiple clips, so I think the issue's been fixed.

And there's always the browser-based java uploader, which works just as well for batch uploads.

Let us know if you're still having problems with either of these.
