    Anyone else have a problem FTp'in to sites thourgh IBB?

    Tried a few different ones - it seems to be any servers located outside ireland.

    Don't know if UTV's servers are located outside Ireland, but I can't ftp to those either.

    Wondering if it's a local thing!

    Ok I have whittled it down even further.

    It doesn't seem to be related to country as I was able to ftp to some other amercian based servers.

    To break it down to providers:
    UTV
    Verio

    If anyone here is on IBB and uses UTV for some sites - would they mind checking for me.

    The connection is fine - it's just when I upload a file larger than say 10k.

    Thanks
    Tom

    sorry to drag this up but i am having ftp probs with IBB and was wondering is anyone else? In Glasnevin. i can ping the ip and get about 180ms. Its in Canada i believe and i can connect fine 95% of the time but my speeds suck. It normally starts at 20KB/s but slowly goes to 0.0 and sometimes picks up but rarely above 10. Thing is sometimes (hasnt happened in a week and ive been trying everyday about 20 times) it reaches 179KB/s and stays above 140 all the time. When i cud get it t that it was only happening about 10% of the time conecting and the other 90% was like what seems to be happening all the time now! Can FTP's be blocked etc? I have my ports open, DMZ on the ip for the router and security/firewall off!!!

    Thanks, if anyone can shed some light it wud be great.

    It could be a routing issue to the network across the Atlantic...

    Or it could be an IBB issue...

    it's hard to say without an IP to actually test against

    So the charter is updated
