Hello everyone,

Is there a quantity limit when using FTP tool to upload footage files?

I can't upload more than 3 files at same time.

The FTP tool is 'Transmit', and my setting of transfer limit is up to 99 files.

Best Regards,

This is the information I have learned after looking into this:

1.       The FTP server is sitting behind a NAT and sees all incoming connections arriving from the same IP address. Therefore...you just happened to be the fourth connection using the same IP address.

2.       Other people from YOUR network are accessing the same FTP server. Since you all may appear to be coming from the same IP address...

3.       In a program like filezilla you can select File -> Site Manager On the Transfer Settings tab, set the Limit number of simultaneous connections field to, in your case, less than 4.

No, I'm not aware of any limits on our end.

When I upload more than 4 files, there is a pop-out window says: "The server sent this message:

Sorry, the maximum number of clients (4) for this user are already connected."

Do you know how to fix the problem?
