Timed out trying to read data from the socket stream!

 {
                Host = settings.Host,
                Credentials = new NetworkCredential(settings.Login, settings.Password),
                EnableThreadSafeDataConnections = false,
                ReadTimeout = 30000,
                DataConnectionReadTimeout = 30000,

 };

Which function are you using? DownloadFile? Which function do you get the timeout on?

[robinrodricks]

Unless you reply its impossible to fix this.

Hi,

I've just had this issue with the DeleteDirectory command.

[robinrodricks]

@pbindy Can you share more details. Are there any files/folders in the dir you are trying to delete? Which server are you using? Azure has problems with timeouts...

[pbindy]

Hi,

here is my code
if (FtpClient.DirectoryExists(folderPath)) FtpClient.DeleteDirectory(folderPath, true, true);

The folder has files in it, around 15.

I'm trying to transfer from a PC with Windows 10 to a coffee machine with Windows CE installed.

This issue is not reproducible every time. I had the issue twice in a row and then nothing.

What I did to fix it, I make sure that the folder is empty (delete all files in it) before calling DeleteDirectory.

[robinrodricks]

I see you are using the older version of FluentFTP. Can you upgrade to latest on nuget and check if it works for you? Because DeleteDirectory() has totally changed in that time...

[pbindy]

Ok I'll update to the latest version but there is definitely something happening with this DeleteDirectory method. (see #99 )

[robinrodricks]

You don't need to delete the files in it first. Just call DeleteDirectory and see if its working good. Because we have switched to LIST command instead of machine listings and we are getting all files recursively, then deleting those files, then deleting the folder last. You should not have any problems.

[pbindy]

I'll check it once again but I need to make a lot of testing before putting it in Production because it has to work 100% of the time.

I realized this just got closed 4 hours ago, But I just ran into this issue today. I updated to the latest version v17.3.0 and I am still getting this error message when attempting to us FTPS using the code provided here: https://github.com/hgupta9/FluentFTP#faq_ftps

[robinrodricks]

@gjhdigital Okay, issue reopened. Which FTP server/OS are you using? or which host?

[gjhdigital]

nevermind, wrong protocol.

[robinrodricks]

@gjhdigital What was the solution so others can know?

[gjhdigital]

I was told the connection was FTPS when it was actually SFTP. So I ended up using the recommended SSH.NET package. Im using FluentFTP for another project and it works flawlessly for that.

[robinrodricks]

@gjhdigital Excellent, thank you.
