Hi everyone. I am using SmartFtp as an ftp client. I want to upload a large amount of data on my server. The problem is that after uploading some files the uploading process fails. "Transfer failled" Error). Any ideas?
Thanx in advance,

Sounds like your connection is unstable. Are you connecting to LAN or WAN? If WAN, what is your host?

Thanx for the reply. I am using my lab's LAN. I think the connection is ok. Maybe it has sth to do with the program i use.

Have you tried adding a Network place in Network Neighborhood?
Thanx again PeejAvery. You mean to add the network place and use windows explorer as an ftp browser?

Yes. Does it fail with that?
Is it ok to use win explorer for ftp purposes? I mean is this secure enough? I am using Win Xp Home.

FTP itself is not a secure protocol. Unless your server is the most popular server in the world, and you are passing credit card information, I would not worry about it.
Secure connections always depend on the server to which you are connecting. If it issues a SSL certificate, then the server is secure. Just type the secure port in the address bar.
Ex.
ftp://user@server.com:port#/path
