Hi
(Great program, by the way - very easy to set up... thanks !)

Out here in the wilds of South-West Ireland, our internet access is via a microwave link. Generally it's fine - but on FTP activity (uploading website files via FireFTP or the FTP prog in NetObjects Fusion) things go badly wrong - and the upload fails.

I contacted the people that run my servers - they suggested pinging a known location while running an FTP upload. The known location they suggested was their FTP server.

Taking it one step further <g> - I set up PP to do the pinging for me - and ended up with the attached image.

Watching it in realtime - when the FTP's playing up, starting an upload will cause the FTP program to complain that the link to the server has been lost - and the graph shows 'ERR' - as in the image...

FireFTP seems more resilient when 'passive FTP' is NOT checked - PP still shows slow hops and loss but the upload seems to get through. With Passive FTP selected the upload will fail on an error..

Any idea what I'm looking at here ?? I think that the hops in the '10.' series are the microwave link.....??

Thanks
Adrian
