FTP Uploading
« on: March 09, 2004, 01:23:44 pm »

Ive had this problem for a while and posted before. So far Im more inclined to chalk it down to ignorance than a bug. Im trying this again in the hope someone can shed some light.

I cant get MC v10.0.86 (and a few previous builds) to upload images to my website.

Details:

When I connect to the website in IE with the address ftp://xxxxx I see a directory called htdocs. My website index.html is in this folder - the home page. All content is in htdocs or folders below this.

So - in MC the send to/Web,FTP dialog I basically do what I do in IE - enter my ftp address and leave the port as default 21. But it seems no matter what combination or combinations of "/htdocs/Photos" etc I use in the path MC will not upload. The upload dialog appears to work, but the final dialog shows '0 of x files transferred'.

I hope its clear that Im pretty clueless with this stuff. I think Im just doing something simple wrong.

It works for me.

I just wished it would remember the password for the site so you do not need to re-type it everytime.

There is a limit right now that may affect this.  It will only create one directory.

So if your home directory has a directory called htdocs, MC can create a directory called photos under it.  If the htdocs directory doesn't exist, MC can't create htdocs/photos all at once.

Here's one that works for me:

address:  machine.jriver.com/public_html

path:  test

Try putting the directory you want to create where I've put "test".

Note that there are no preceding or trailing slashes.

Jim

Thank you. That was exactly the problem. Its working fine now.

I was beating my head against the wall trying to figure this. Now my family and friends dont have pretend to be interested in my holiday snaps as I talk them through the photo album.

Thanks again
