Anyone else found that globalscape secure ftp server 2 starts to act
up after about a week of heavy use?

Task manger shows 120,000 handles after about 7 days of use.

This eventually downs the server.

I have tried Globalscape support but ALL has gone cold. the last
thing i was told at Christmas was other people were experiencing the
same problem.

I now have to login at night and down it. When downing, it takes up
even more memory before eventually ending after 10 minutes.

- System : Windows 2000 server
- 515mb RAM
- Raid 5 disk array
- December distribution of secure ftp server
- Utilise SSH and plain FTP

Anyone else suffering??????????
