This is probably the server being unable to respond quickly enough. Just putting a small sleep in the loop outside the actual ftp should help. Of course if you sleep for 1 second but have 600 files that will take 20 minutes to complete if you sleep between every ftp and you open a second connection to do the deletion.

Does there seem to be a common limit to the number of connections when getting lots of small files? Perhaps you can have a sleep every 10 files so it doesn't hurt too much.

bup-web

bup-ftp(1)						      General Commands Manual							bup-ftp(1)

NAME

       bup-web - Start web server to browse bup repositiory

SYNOPSIS

       bup web [[hostname]:port]

DESCRIPTION

       bup web	starts	a web server that can browse bup repositories.	The file hierarchy is the same as that shown by bup-fuse(1), bup-ls(1) and
       bup-ftp(1).

       hostname and port default to 127.0.0.1 and 8080, respectively, and hence bup web will only offer up  the  web  server  to  locally  running
       clients.  If you'd like to expose the web server to anyone on your network (dangerous!) you can omit the bind address to bind to all avail-
       able interfaces: :8080.

EXAMPLE

	      $ bup web
	      Serving HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8080...
	      ^C

	      $ bup web :8080
	      Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0:8080...
	      ^C

SEE ALSO
