    Hi,
    I've used the free version of Fetch for years without a hitch, but now that I'm on a DSL connection, I just purchased a Router. When I try to upload files to my server, the file begins to upload (the file name is listed on the file list), but Fetch will not complete the upload. When I refresh, it only shows the name and a file size of 0k. If I bypass the router, the file transfers ok. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Cragar

    My guess is that the router and/or DSL modem has flow control problems. Can you upload with a Mac connected directly to the DSL modem?

    Yes, everything works when using directly through the DSL modem, it's only when I hook up the Router in between the computer and the Modem that I have a problem with Fetch.
    By the way, all other Internet activity works fine through the Router, it only seems to be a problem when uploading files with Fetch. Thanks for you help. I've tried the support folks at the router company (Netgear), but they seem to think it has to do with Fetch, but they admitted that they didn't have any Mac expertise.

    Could you post a transcript from a failed upload through the router?

    Have you tried unchecking the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" box in the Firewall section of Preferences?

    If that does not help I would recommend trying the upload with a different FTP client (such as VicomSoft's, available from www.vicomsoft.com). If the problem persists that's good evidence that the router is blocking the upload somehow.

    Thanks,
