The following answers will help you troubleshoot some issues with the Internxt CLI.
For more help with WebDAV, check out our range of WebDAV articles, including how to set up the Internxt CLI, uploading folders, and more.
How many parallel connections can I set?
This depends on the client you are using (CyberDuck, rclone, etc.). Internxt WebDAV supports multiple concurrent requests, but to avoid instability we recommend keeping it between 2 and 4 parallel connections. Higher numbers may cause errors.
Does limiting the bandwidth improve stability?
Yes. Limiting bandwidth can help prevent congestion and reduce the chance of failed or incomplete uploads or downloads, especially during long sessions.
How can I prevent the CLI WebDAV server from stopping when running for several days?
We recommend using a process manager such as pm2, systemd, or running it inside a Docker container with restart policies. This ensures the service restarts automatically if it stops.
How can I prevent the “500 server error” that occurs with some files?
This error usually appears when the server cannot handle a specific request. To minimize it, please avoid special characters in file names (such as ? * : \ “ < > |), keep parallel transfers moderate (2–4), and make sure you are using the latest version of Internxt CLI.
After running a very long copy with CyberDuck (still with some errors), what is the most convenient way to compare, sync, check, or fix only updated, missing, or corrupted files without deleting everything and starting the copy from scratch?
The best tool for this is rclone with the Internxt WebDAV endpoint. With rclone you can:
sync: Make the remote identical to local, uploading only changed or missing files and deleting extraneous ones
copy: Upload only missing or newer files, without deleting anything on the remote
check: Compare hashes between local and remote files to verify integrity
Recommended: run rclone sync with flags like
--ignore-existing(only upload new files),
-–create-empty-src-dirs(keep folder structure),
and combine with
-–retries
-–low-level-retries, and
-–transfers=Nfor better stability. (edited)
