    I'll try that when he comes back from his meeting. Just to add I can ping the ftp server from a machine that you can't do the ftp on and there are no issues

    Hmmm, doesnt look a routing issue then. Try the command line FTP and if that doesnt work it may be that FTP traffic is getting blocked.

    have just thought of something, in the past if a customer has put on a file that hasn't built up correctly so it show the page with 0 bytes then this completly stops the customer or me from accessing the folder where the pages are being put and you have to wait 24hours for it to clear itself or call the FTP hosts tech support team in the US which can take forever to clear it.

    I'll ask him if all his Pdfs are ok when I can get a hold of him.

    Well it is working now, the files he was sending me were some of the last to get backed up there is still 2 minutes of his backup to go but he can now connect. Anybody got any ideas? is there some crazy bottleneck somewhere that I should be aware of?

    Hmm, is it from his workstation to the server? might be a scheduled task or something.

    I didn't ask him that, the production office at his site does not have a proper sever room there is just 3 win2k3 servers in the corner of his office so I suppose he could just look at the screens.

    His whole build contains 15 or so PCs and a couple of MACs not even what you would call a small place, its tiny.

    I think you'll very probably never find out what happened here GBL. But it <sniff... ooh, can you smell that?> smells of user error. He's very possibly been rushing, known he's had to go into his meeting and hit a wrong key somewhere.

    I'm glad it's sorted anyways... 8)

    I wouldn't put it past him, he's probably tried to ftp ****.com instead of my place he isn't the most intelligent of people.

    Just found out this morning that the reason he couldn't log in to the FTP server was because a 4MB Pdf file was corrupted so it was locking his system from sending the files to me :blink
