Decided to try the web editor file functions since I needed to update my Oasis GM text archives. To start off with, I deleted the old ones - I spellchecked my copies and fixed a few weird line wraps. That worked fine. Then I tried to upload new ones... 'Upload a file with netscape' didn't work correctly. It seemed to do something, but didn't take anywhere near long enough for a 150KB zip file, and no file appeared. I'm using IE 5.01. I then uploaded a file into the phoenyx incoming FTP area - or at least what I thought was that area. I then used the web editor 'move' function. It seemed to work - showed me a file successfully copied message - but nothing ever showed up in the web editor directory listing, and my file is still in the incoming directory. Maybe I'm using the wrong FTP site? I haven't used it in some time. WSFTP log excerpt below... connecting to 206.53.103.2 ... Connected to 206.53.103.2 port 21 220 onyx.southwind.net FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Fri Apr 30 11:18:15 CDT 1999) ready. 250 CWD command successful. PWD 257 "/users/p/phoenyx/incoming" is current directory. Eventually I just used teh automatic handling of attachments. That seemed to work fine, since I was trying to put my files into the 'files' subdirectory anyway. ---- Jeff Johnson jsjohnso@islandnet.com "Bother," said Pooh, as he read his Compuserve bill. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

> Try using the Phoenyx server... ftp.phoenyx.net. Tried ftp.phoenyx.net without success. I tried to ftp my files to the pub/incoming directory. All the files transferred successfully, but I couldn't see any of them with my FTP client (a permission thing perhaps?). Same behaviour as before from the web editor's move function. Details : I transferred oasgm55.zip to the incoming directory, then tried the web editor. In the source, I tried 'OASGM55.ZIP', 'oasgm55.zip', and 'Oasgm55.zip' as file names, thinking I might be running into a Unix filename case problem. As destination, I entered 'files/oasgm55.zip' every time. All three attempts gave a message that a file was successfully copied, but no file ever showed up. Help? For these files, I can use the automatic handling of attachments (since I'm sending them to the files directory anyhow), but I have some other files I'd like to put in the 'root' Westwind directory. ---- Jeff Johnson jsjohnso@islandnet.com The ocean would be much deeper if sponges didn't live there. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners
> Tried ftp.phoenyx.net without success. Sounds like exactly the same problem I've reported on this list about trying to upload files for the SylvrStorm game site. FTP works fine, then it looks like the move to the storm directory works, but the files don't actually get moved. I'm following this discussion closely, as I'd like to get my site off Geocities where it is now, but I can't until I have a way to get my files onto the Phoenyx server.
