Dotster FTP services suck. After a few months of using dotster web hosting, and experiencing their FTP upload and FTP download, my experience never been this terrible before.

I trying to FTP upload the new WordPress script version 2.6.2 to dotster server. the FTP process being terminated by server a lot of times. The server giving me FTP terror code 530 as following

“530 Sorry, the maximum number of clients (2) from your host are already connected.”

Seem like dotster FTP server only allowed two connection a time. So I’ve set the filezilla to have maximum of two FTP connection. I close the connection and reattemp FTP upload to dotster server. it failed to again, giving in the same error. I wait more than 15 minutes and reattempt the FTP uploading again, but it still failed. Appear to be dotster FTP server did not terminate and clear the previous closed FTP session.

My experience using dotster FTP services it’s terrible, it took me more than an hour to upload the 900 WordPress files, that only smaller than 3MB in size. This is a Big nightmare.

    Ya I’ve had the same problem it is incredible frustrating. If I try to upload multiple files I have to do it one at a time or some of them fail to upload. I’ve been using filezilla on both macs and pcs with it and it either will not connect or it will fail to upload my files. I started using cyberduck which seems to work better but it just does not compare to filezilla.
