I tried lftp with the same results. However, in reading the man page I noticed an option called verify-port, which was turned off by default. Turning it on fixed the problem for lftp. The man page is not clear to me as to exactly what verify-port does, but I think it makes sure that control and data ports don't change. > On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 11:43:15AM -0600, Mike Keithley wrote: > > Hello list, > > > > I am having a difficult time uploading large files to my website > > hosted by godaddy.com.
