Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ4r FTP kills the server - help!

Make a TOP when you are transfering file over and see if you are causing a
cpu bottleneck or low memory status. I was loosing my http on one raq xtr
the same way. Disable all you are not using while you setup and transfer
your site. The timeout of your ftp should be aroung 300, so this mean if you
get back as normal after more than 300 without doing nothing (be sure your
client ftp does not have auto reconnectec option on), the server probably
went in cpu bottleneck, this mean it also dont have enought ressource to
execute the 300 sec timout process. when finishing looping it see you are
still loged on and continu transfer as usual.
