Issues FTP'ing files to server

Rollo Tamasi

I'm having problems trying to get files and folders onto my server. The server is apache and the files i'm uploading are php/gif/png/jpeg/mp3/html pages.

I was uploading a directory of php scripts and it gets to 95% and shows that approx 5 php files are wating to be uploaded but they never get onto the server, the connection times out after 3 failled retrys, it's always the same scripts that have the problem too. If i break the connection and retry with just those files i get the same problem.

Im running Win2K, have my firewall disabled, my router is allowing FTP traffic, i have tried two different FTP clients, WS_FTP & Filezilla, i have uploaded the same scripts to another server without trouble. A mate tried to upload the same scripts and he encountered the same problems as me (he is on chorus i'm on eircom) All the files and folders on the server are CHMOD777. There are no torrent/p2p apps running. Just firefox and the ftp programs.

I'm getting download transfers of 200kb ps on 3meg Broadband so i know my connection is working (edit, i just did a broadband speed test and i got a QOS of 5% - Upload 61kb Download 200kb, but i doubt that's causing the problem, is it?)

Do you think it's something with the webhost/some apache config files that is causing the problem?

I don' know what the problem is. Any ideas?

It sounds to me like you don't have write permissions on the files in question. You could try chmoding those PHP files again to include write permissions using your FTP program and see if that helps. If you are unable to do this and get permission denied errors in the FTP logs you will have to get your host to reset the permissions on these files for you.

Sometimes PHP scripts can end up having the wrong user / group permissions which may stop you from editing them.
