Limitations on FTP

On all products, there is a limit of 8 simultaneous connections per user. Some FTP programs may open multiple connections to optimise speed, which means the limit of 8 simultaneous connections can be reached relatively easily.

This is particularly a problem with the programs CuteFTP and FileZilla.

If too many connections are established, we simply recommend waiting for the connections to close automatically, and then, if necessary, configuring your chosen FTP program to use fewer, or just one, simultaneous connections.

There is no speed limit on FTP transfers.
