Large FTP file upload fails

[Myopia]

Hello All,

I need help to set up the nessecairy things to be able to upload files to my Freenas server.

When I upload a small file, it goes well. But when I upload a large file, like 1GB it doesn't upload the file in total.

System: HP Proliant MicroServer Gen8 G1610T
CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1610T @ 2.30GHz
RAM Size: 12099MB
Hard Drives: 3x3GB WD Red RaidZ

What to do?

You're getting timeouts. Paste the output of ifconfig.

That looks good. I'm assuming the FTP server is on the same subnet? Is there any firewall/router/some_other_device in the network that could be slowing down the packets? Also, what's the OS and version on the FTP client?

 

[Myopia]

The FTP server is on the same subnet.
The client: Windows 10 + Filezilla 3.14

 

[dlavigne]

Do you have the same issue if you try a different FTP client (other than Filezilla)?

 

[Myopia]

With other clients I get the same error: Timeout.

FTPing should be very easy, I'm confused and desperate. What could be wrong?

 

[gpsguy]

Do you have another machine you can try it from?

Not sure if this will help or not, but some older articles mention running the command “netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled” to assist with large file upload issues. Not sure if it pertains to Windows 10 or not, but thought I would throw it out there.

I have tested it with a Windows 7 machine and WinSCP FTP client, still the same issue.
When I upload via FTP to my Windows Server, there are no problems. So it must be a Freenas related issue/configuration. But I'm new to Freenas.

I'm happy to report that I've finally made it to be working! The only thing that was missing, was the home directory within the user setting. Apparently without the setting it won't work properly, for small files it works well, but for large files it doesn't.

 

[Mirfster]

Wow, that is an odd fix. But will keep it in mind. Glad you got things working.

I now have a new issue with permissions:
What did I do:
-Create new Dataset datasetname\media
-Set owner group to admin
-Create user media and set home directory to datasetname\media
-FTP settings > home directory to datasetname
Now I connect via FTP with user media and I see the directory listening, but I cant create files or directories: Response: 550 test: Operation not permitted.

What is wrong?
