Hi Martin,
I was certain I was doing something silly. Thank you so much for spending
time to test.
I did put the server on a different machine and I got the same problem
intermittently.
Tried Sleep in the past and once again I go the timeouts intermittently.
I have lost about two weeks work with this problem and as I mentioned in a
previous post, an INDY client with an ICS FTP server were faster in my tests
but once again the timeouts occurred. At the moment I am using Synapse which
does the job.
Sham.
