 * Hi,
 * I was uploading a bunch of files to my mdocs using FTP processing. It was working
   fine for hundreds of files, and all of a sudden, it is now not processing those
   files properly. I can find them when I do file system cleanup, and they are unlinked
   files. What is going on? I am not sure what changed.

 * nothing has changed in ftp batch upload recently.. check your apache logs for
   more information.

 * I can’t find anything wrong in error logs or anywhere. The files are showing 
   up in the database, and generate links that work, but not in the folder. It’s
   similar to this issue with no timeout (per se): [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/outgrowing-memphis-docs/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/outgrowing-memphis-docs/)

 * take a look at this php setting ‘max_input_vars’ this maybe your issue, but doesn’t
   sound like it.
 * Sound like there is a permission issue with your upload directory check that 
   as well.

 * Tried both of those. No significant difference in the php settings of my current
   server vs. my previous one (which worked fully). There does seem to be a limit
   to the number of files that are able to be processed by mdocs on this server,
   though. They are uploaded in the mdocs folder, but are not written into the bak
   file. If I delete some files off of mdocs, I can upload more and they will be
   recognized.

 * Memory limits are set to what I had on my test site (on Linux based Godaddy).
   This is my phpinfo: [http://agsbrooks.com/info.php](http://agsbrooks.com/info.php)
   I have been working with the techs at my current server and they’ve seemed to
   identify it as a file number limit of around 1489 files. They were thinking that
   rather than a php problem, it may be a Windows server limit in MySQL or the plugin
   somewhere, but specific to Windows (because files are uploaded and copied to 
   mdocs directory, but the links are not created on the folders page). Files will
   upload, but after 1489 files, the files no longer link to posts. If you delete
   some, then a few more files will link and then no more. They are trying to figure
   out where that limit might be, do you have any input?

 * Im not familiar with Windows Server setup so I can’t be of much help to you.
