FTP problems frihost's fault or no?

ocalhoun

First of all, here's what happens:
Supposing I want to up/download a large amount of data from my webspace (say, 50mb)
Some time through the operation, I'll get an error to the tune of: Connection actively refused by host.

I'm wondering if this is because of frihost's ftp settings or if it is just a mysterious glitch I shouldn't worry about.
This isn't a big problem, I can still do what I need to by downloading large amounts of data in small pieces, but this makes things like making a backup of my entire webspace very inconvienient.

To cut to the chase, if this is because of a setting on frihost's servers could it be changed please?

I thought that most ftp programs make it possible to download files by pieces, so if you lose your connection you can continue later.

Whether this is a fault of the server? Maybe but I doubt it as I never received that error myself.

Are these problems happening when even using high connections? or only on dial ups. I would like to know also if i can change my ftp password from time to time. Thanks
