Title: FTP Upload
Post by: JONCAT on September 15, 2006, 07:06:49 pm

I have a sub-account on my site, password protected, and MC is able to upload to it (although I have to keep typing in my password).

The problem is that when I try the location:

Music/JA Archive Updates

My uploads work but they end up in the root folder. So I tried this:

/Music/JA Archive Updates

and the transfer completes successfully but I can't find this file ANYWHERE on the server (and there aren;t many places to look).

Anyone have an idea of what is going on? Website or MC issue?

i wonder if it is due to the spaces?

try a folder without spaces

There are some FTP controls (like microsoft's Stock FTP control) that you can not have spaces in the string that is sent to the control, this is due to that a space means go to the next parm.

I renamed the 2nd level folder to have no spaces. I can only upload to the root folder. Not a huge deal but then I have to manually move the files with my FTP app, or create only root level folders on the site.

thanks for your help

The folder name may be case sensitive.  It is on UNIX or Linux.

You may also need to change the permissions on the folder (if UNIX or Linux). 

If MC creates the folder, both case and permissions should work.

yep that could cause a problem

I have two providers on one of them it works fine (MS Server) on the other the case matters (Linux)
