Visual studio FTP publish does not close connections?

Question

I am publishing using Visual Studio 2010 FTP publish and everything works fine. The problem is that the page I am publishing to does only allow 6 connections from the same IP. As Visual Studio does not close the connection these connections stay open and I exceed the 6 connections quickly and cannot upload.

Does anyone know a solution to this other than using another FTP-program?

Answer 1

I solved it by telling our web hoster to kick me if I am inactive for 1 min. So all connections created by VS will be terminated after 1 min.

Answer 2

Have you tried setting up the connection using passive mode? See this for instructions.
