Screenshot FTP issue
« on: October 16, 2009, 09:50:28 PM »
For some reason the FTP screenshot never gets uploaded, it uploads the .tmp file fine though.

Any thoughts as to why?

Thanks.

I just noticed that it's not saving the screenshots in the /screenshots folder locally. Running XP with no problems till just a few hours ago. Nothing's changed.

This is not a RB problem, it is an ISP server problem.  Discussed at some length here on the forum in the past.  The ISP prevents the new file overwriting the existing one on the server, renaming the new upload as .tmp and therefore never showing on your web page.  I think that the solution to this was to either contact the ISP or use a different free web host.  Gofreeserve works fine, as does Demon Internet.

No it's a RB problem since it is not saving the screenshots locally.

Well, it works fine for me and it always has done, so I can't help you there I'm afraid.

Unlikely.  Others had exactly the same problem, and it was caused by the ISP not accepting constant FTP uploads every minute.

Try a search on gofreeserve.  Here's one - http://www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=3000.msg28951#msg28951

I have sort of the same problem. Only tmp files are saved on my c-drive. Those tmp files are uploaded to my ISP.

A classic symptom that your ftp server can't cope with the rename command.
