problem transferring files (14 posts)

    We can receive files onto our FTP site from customers using Fetch 4 but cannot receive the same file using Fetch 5. What do we need to do to have vers 5 work. I have downloaded the trials of both at our site and I too cannot get 5 to transfer files. The doggie keeps running. Same file on vers 4 transfers in a flash. Any recommendation for my customers would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    Could you please post the contents of the Transcript window, and we'll try to figure out what is going on?

    To do this, try to transfer a file with Fetch 5, and after the dog runs for a bit, choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu, copy the contents, and post them here.

    Also, if you could tell us what FTP software your server is running, that may be helpful.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the transcript -- that's very helpful. When the transfer stalls what does it say in the status pane (the area below the file list)? I'm interested in how many bytes have been sent, and whether that number is changing.

    Thanks,

    Hi Scott and Jim

    I forgot to tell you what FTP software we are running on our server. It is WAR FTP Daemon 1.70 - www.jgaa.com on a Dell running Windows XP Professional. We been using this software since 2001, which our consultant installed for us.

    In the status window the information displayed there says:
    Putting final_inserts.indd.sit as binary data
    0bytes of 2.6MB
    The doggie keeps running but nothing transfers.

    Below is the transcript again, with info after I click on the X to stop.

    This is very puzzling; I can't think of any reason why Fetch 5 uploads would stall while Fetch 4 uploads work from the same machine. Have you tried uploading to that server from the OS X command line ftp client (i.e. by running Terminal and typing "ftp 192.9.200.40")?

    Thanks,

    Hi Jim,
    I can connect using the info you provided, however I don't know the key commands to type in to transfer the files. I could see on both computers that they were communicating. In the meantime I will look up some info for that on line until I hear back from you.
    Thanks,
    Prestige

  • Jim Matthews Administrator

    The command for uploading a file in the command line ftp client is "put", e.g.:

    put inserts9_19.sitx

    Thanks,

    Hello Jim,
    I do get a connection to our FTP server. I tried this command and it didn't work for me. I have the file right on the desktop and also tried moving it to the hard drive. This is the message I receive from the terminal.

    My guess is that final_inserts.sit is not in your home folder, so the command line ftp program does not see it. You can fix this by typing

    put

    and then a space, and then dragging the final_inserts.sit icon onto the Terminal window. Terminal will helpfully enter the full path of final_inserts.sit so that the ftp program can find it.

    Let me know how it goes,

    Hi Jim,

    Moving the file to the home folder worked. The message displays that the file stalls at 7% which I would say where Fetch 5 stalls since the both stopped around the same time. It is baffling to know that Fetch 4 could work around this but the terminal and Fetch 5 can't complete the file. I've done all the tests from the same machine - PowerPC G4 Dual 450MHz. I'm not sure what Mac the customer is using. I'm going to try a different type of file and see if that works. Below is the log from the terminal. I'll do some further testing.

    Thanks, Prestige

    That's baffling to me as well. If you send login information to bugs at fetchsoftworks dot com I'll try to reproduce the problem from here, and see what else I can figure out.

    Thanks,

    I am having similar problems with the same kind of stall message using Terminal mode, Fetch 5.04 and Dreamweaver 8 on Mac OS X 10.4.2 with the OS X firewall on or off. Titanium G4 500 running over Linksys wireless to connect to DSL. Unique to FTP uploads from the Mac. Other things on the Mac are fine and FTP upload to the same Unix server is fine from a Windows XP machine.

    leedherman: Is the Windows machine connected to the Linksys router in the same way as the Mac? Have you tried connecting the Mac directly to the DSL line?

    Thanks,
