stalls on completion of file upload (5 posts)

  Hi all,

  Regularly when I upload files (even as small as a meg) Fetch stalls on completion and i have to stop the transfer in order to reconnect. Needless to say this means i can't upload more than 1 file at a time. There are occasions when it works as it should but I can't see any pattern as to why.

  I know this is not a problem specific to Fetch as I've tested Transmit and it does the same thing, but I'm wondering if anybody has any tips (I've gone through the procedure cited in Fetch Help Troubleshooting for this problem and it hasn't solved it).

  Cheers,
  Jesse.

  Hi Jesse,

  This does sound very much like the sort of problem the "Contact server during long transfers" checkbox in the Obscure pane of the Fetch Preferences is meant to address. I just wanted to double-check that you tried it.

  Do you have this problem no matter which server you are transferring files with, or just with one particular server?

  The next time you try to upload and Fetch stalls, could you please choose Fetch Transcript from the Window menu, copy the contents of the transcript window, and paste them here? We'll take a look and try to figure out what's going on.

  Thanks,

  Scott McGuire

  Hi Scott,

  I did check the "contact server during long transfers" box in response to the problem and it didn't seem to make any difference.

  I have had this problem with 2 different servers so far but I will endeavour to find some more servers to test it with and I'll post some transcript logs for you to have a look at.

  Thanks for your help.

  Jesse.

  Hi Scott,

  Ok i've tested it again and it is definitely only happening when I attempt to upload through my ISP (TPG) and even then it sometimes works.

  Hi Jesse,

  Thanks for the transcript.

  Unfortunately, we don't have any suggestions - from the transcript, it look like a problem with the server, or maybe your local connection. I wish we had a fix for you - but the fact that you see the problem with different FTP clients also suggests it lies beyond your computer and the FTP clients.

  Good luck,

  Scott McGuire
