So i recently bought a new computer and moved a VB.net program to this new computer. my program uses coreftp to transfer some files up to my webserver. On the new computer i randomly get some files that do not transfer up to the server. My program transfers one file at a time with the following command line call and each call for each file. An average instance will move about 11 files by making the following call 11 times just changing the file name. Any ideas why this used to work but now does not? Sometimes is works great and sometimes it misses 3 or 4 files.
"c:\program files\coreftp\coreftp.exe" -s -O -site 520 -u "D:\Data\xxxxxx\xxxxxxxxx.com V2\site\machines\photos\1998_Mori_Seiki_SV500_40_08282018-6.jpg" -p /xxxxxxxxx.com/machines/photos/ -log d:\Data\core.log
here is what the log says when it fails

Re: command line random "Can't establish connection"
it might be connectivity issues with the computer itself (drivers, network card, other background programs that use excessive resources, etc).
Use corecmd.exe instead of coreftp.exe and check the return value. If it is not zero then retry the transfer.

Re: command line random "Can't establish connection"
just for more information i also use the CoreFTP program and that never seems to fail when i grab and stack of files and transfer them.
I will give your suggestion a try and see if i can capture the return value.

Re: command line random "Can't establish connection"
those aren't corecmd.exe return values. Are you looking at %errorresult%?
Re: command line random "Can't establish connection"
I was collecting the wrong value. i looked up another way to fire off the command line and test the return. I am not sure why it is failing but i retry the upload a couple of times if it fails. It seems to be working ok now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
