Submission + - Unrealiable GPRS network breaking FTP, help?
Glubbdrubb writes: I run a network of 50 plus nodes all connected via a patchy, inconsistent cell based GPRS/Edge network. We use vsFTP to receive and send files to and from each node, one at a time. The problem occurs when the data transfer slows down to a point where the FTP session won't time out but still stalls in the middle of a transfer. I tried changing the session time-out and idle time-out values but I can't find a balance where valid sessions aren't closed down and stalled sessions are. The only solution I think of is a replacement for FTP itself. Any suggestions?
