exceeded storage quota (8 posts)

    After years of using Fetch, a couple of days ago started getting the message, "could not put because the FTP server says that you have exceeded your storage quota". I can send from a different computer to the same address, using the same username and password and it works fine, but going through my wireless and hub brings up this error. Is it maybe a router error?

    Frustrating, thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,

    The "exceeded your storage quota" message comes from the server; Fetch is just passing it along. It means that you are out of space in your account on the server.

    Which Mac you try to upload from should not make a difference. Perhaps you tried to upload a smaller file that there was room for from the other computer and that's why it worked from there?

    Anyway, the solution is to delete some old files that you no longer need from the server, or to contact the folks who run the server and see if they will increase your storage allowance.

    Please let us know if you have further questions.

    Thanks,

    I've talked with the person who runs the server, and he asures me there is plents of storage and allowances. It is a newspaper site that photographers routinely send to. Using my laptop rather than desktop computer, and sending the same file using a verizon card rather than going through the cable modem and router, same serever address, username, etc. and it works fine, which leads me to believe it is somewhere within my desktop system. I appreciate your efforts here and wonder if you might have any other suggestions, as the server assures me it's not on their end.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    If you could send us the transcript from an attempt to upload, we will take a look and see if we have any other suggestions. (The transcript is a detailed record of Fetch's communication with the server.)

    To do this:

    * Quit Fetch.
    * Open Fetch again.
    * Connect to your server.
    * Try to upload a file.
    * After you receive an error, choose Fetch Transcript from the Window menu.
    * Copy the entire contents of the transcript window, and paste them into a reply to this message.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    What happens if, as a test, you remove the spaces from the name of the file and try to upload it? (If that doesn't work, please send us the transcript from that upload attempt.)

    Thanks,

    Scott,

    I really appreciate your help. It appears to be a router problem on my end, maybe a permissions problem. By passing the router seems to solve the problem

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You're welcome.

    If it appears to be a router problem, you might want to check and see if there is a firmware update for your router, and if so, install it and see if that fixes the problem.

    Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

    Best,
