FTP batch started by vb dll hangs after 400-500 files

Hello,

i have to start a batch process from a dll to transfer
files created by this dll to remote ftp server. I created
a batch file:

ftp -n -v -i -s:\batch\ftpcmds.txt ftp-server

and a file containing the ftp commands:

user username password
lcd D:\batch\media
mput *.*
quit

It works pefectly when i start it from the dosbox. But
when i call it from the vb dll implemented in IIS (shell
("D:\batch\transfer.bat")), it does not complete the
transfer and hangs after 400-500 (small) files.

Anyone an idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you just want to call FTP a bunch of times, try writing an ASP page or a
BAT script instead of a VB DLL. You'll be less likely to hang yourself
because of how unfriendly VB is to server-side usage unless you set VB
compilation flags properly.

Otherwise, try running IIS State and see what is going on:
