Filezilla FTP keeps getting blocked - why? Print

  • 0

The reason is that FileZilla uses too many concurrent sessions to upload files - basically flooding the web server with requests to the point where the server thinks it is being attacked and then it blocks you temporarily so that you don't ruin the server for all other users sharing the server.


If you are using FILEZILLA as your FTP client, do the following:
1. EDIT
2. SETTINGS
3. TRANSFERS
in that window modify the following parameters, to have all the same value:
Maximum Simultaneous Transfers: 3
Limit for concurrent Downloads: 3
Limit for Concurrent Uploads: 3
or modify the value until you found one that is ok for you. In my case 3 is the optimum with my Internet connection and with my server.

Doing this you will stop those blocked errors with your FTP transfers.
