Hi Guys
This is more of a heads up for 1and1 hosting customers as it looks like they have changed something else regarding FTP access.
I have had WD Real Time Client FTP configured to re-login every 30mins for a long time now and hasn’t ever been an issue. It must of been about the 26/08/2017 that it just stopped uploading. After a week of restarting it always resulted in it stopping with the following being where things halted:
SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp - >clientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:05:13 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp - >customclientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:05:13 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp - >clientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:05:28 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp - >customclientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:05:28 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp - >clientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:05:43 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp - >customclientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:05:43 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp - >clientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:05:58 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp - >customclientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:05:58 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp - >clientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\clientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:06:14 SFTP Uploading c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp - >customclientraw.txt c:\wdisplay\webfiles\customclientraw.txttemp uploaded ok 20:06:14 Logging off from server 20:06:29 OK
If I changed the re-login period to 5 or 15mins the same issue persists. In which it usually halts (although not always) on the first time re-login.
If I check the ‘Restart instead of re-login’ option it seems to work for me - Hopefully this may help other 1and1 users if they encounter this issue.
I would be interested to know why and what 1and1 have changed…
