    Hi All,
    I am having a problem FTP'ing a small file to a dreambox (cable TV box).
    The file is only 33kb but when i try to send it it starts transferring at a slow speed and then gets slower and stops and only tranfers about 2kb?
    The funny thing is I can FTP from the box to the pc and its really fast and has no problem with any file size?
    I am two full days trying to get this working.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Sham...

    ps I have tried 4 different FTP programs just in case and they all fail.

    What type of file is it? shouldn't matter too much but would help to know... Maybe it's because of a block of that type of file on the box tho?...


    What errors are yah getting?

    its an xml file, I thought it might be in use or something so I tried deleting the one already there and it let me so thats not it.
    It doesnt give me an error, it starts to transfer at 16kb/s then drops to 8, 4, 3 and then 0.0kb/s and then stops. The cable file is appearing where I want to copy it to but it only copies around 5-8kb/s, it varies every time I do it.
    I have checked most things DHCP etc, its driving me mad especially the fact that I can copy from the box to the pc no problem.

    This sounds like a firewall problem, ensure you have no firewalls running.
