Core. files in FTP

[xyxis_fahim]

Hello and happy holiday,
I've huge number of "core." files creating automatically in my FTP. Each is about 30 MB and has over 1000 files. I had this problem before with v1 but was fixed not sure how 

Anyway to stop it? I've manually deleted over 1000 files already to gain space.

Thanks.

I don't see whats happening here. What do you mean automatically creating files? What are these file names?

SMF does not just create files like that and that big of a file.

[xyxis_fahim]

Yes it's automatic.

File names goes by

core.1234
core.1235
core.1236

and so on.

I ended up on core.35000 until I started deleting them right way.

Re core files - they aren't from SMF.
A good explanation tip regarding them was posted at

You might want to bring it to the attention of your host.

No it wasn't created by ftp client , I've uninstalled Auto email inactive users mod. Seems to stop now.

Please let me know if it worked.

[xyxis_fahim]

It's still continuing to create those files ....

What has your host said?

[metallica48423]

these files are created when a server side application crashes.

it is not an smf error or creation.  it is 100% something that your host will have to fix

[xyxis_fahim]

Host responded "They are in relation to the script you have to view and correct these issues yourself"

Hmm...

[MultiformeIngegno]

I've this problem too!!!

I use SmartFTP on a Linux Server...
The file size for each file (core.xxxx) is 31.480 KB, the files are 9!!



They take a lot of my space!!! If they're not SMF's, can I delete 'em?

[metallica48423]

you can safely delete them
