I am setting up a script at a customer’s location where their DSL connection is rather slow (approximately 75 KB/sec) and a curl command in the script keeps failing on some “large” uploads. This exact same script runs in other locations just fine, but the other locations have much faster cable internet access.
The command I’m running is essentially:
try
set ftpUploadScript to "curl -T " & quoted form of pathToFileToUpload & space & quoted form of ("ftp://user:pass@PathToThisFileOnline)
do shell script ftpUploadScript
end try
However on some of the larger files the script tried to upload I end up getting an error from this:
curl: (28) FTP response timeout
The error message comes back along with the output of the curl upload, I see the long list of the upload progress, and I can see that the upload actually completed. For example…

Any suggestions for how I can recover from this error? Maybe if the error is #28 I should assume all is actually OK and proceed with my script?
