Where is the script failing? What error checking have you put in place?

I would check for @error after every FTP call, to find out where it is failing for you. Something like this:

Local $hOpen = _FTP_Open('MyFTP Control')
    If @error Then ;<Do something>
    
Local $hConn = _FTP_Connect($hOpen, $sServer, $sUsername, $sPass)
    If @error Then ;<Do something>
    
$put = _FTP_FilePut($hConn, @WorkingDir&"\"&$filename, $location & $filename)
    If @error Then ;<Do something>

The FTP UDF doesn't work for SFTP sites, so if the site you're connecting to uses any type of SSH, you can't use the UDF with it.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I think it might have been useful to mention that it worked at one time and now doesn't. That's an important point in the troubleshooting process.

Try using to use _ftp_progressupload, which sends small chunks at a time.

I had issues with FTP fileput uploading a large file. It would connect, upload, and disconnect for no appearent reason long before it was finished. I still don't quite understand why, but from what I could gather it is because of routers that try to actively end idle connections, and don't handle FTP connections correctly. Filezilla and windows explorer uploaded the file as expected.

_ftp_fileput worked for me at first, but began to fail when the file grew.

@DictatoroftheUSA thanks, the problem was solved by reinstaling the OS, still don't know the error reason, anyway it works fine now.

@ BrewManNH, thanks for the tip, it's been noted.
