FTP Not Working

Post by mdredige »

I followed the instructions at Simple_Website_setup however, Cumulus is not uploading the files from the C:\...\Cumulus\web\ folder (i.e. index.dat).

The ftp.log appears to indicate that files were successfully transferred but, they are not there. I have attached the log for your reading pleasure.


Thank you for any and all help,

Hi mark

It looks like you have your directory setting wrong...

Code: Select all

10:11:33:271 Changing directory to htdocs\weather\cumulus
10:11:33:271 032CD0E0 TriggerDataSent 792
10:11:33:402 >|550 Prohibited file name: htdocs\weather\cumulus|
It is failing to change to your specified folder/directory on the server. Folder names are often / rather than \ on the internet so that may be the issue. You will find that Cumulus has probably dumped all the files in the root folder so it may need tidying up

Eureka! Works like a charm when using a forward slash ( / )
