Export to FTP Help

[llanelwy]

Hi,

Until recently i have been doing the ftp export and using a seperate client, this however is taking forever and i want to be able to use the update feature to speed this up

Can anyone help me work out what i am doing wrong to get the ftp feature to work.

In this case i am trying to upload to a linux based FTP server running vsftpd

the path to the site i am trying to send too is

DOMAIN/~user/dvdcollection

I have tried several permitations of the config but i keep failing (the preview never seams to work)

i have tried the server IP in the site field and /~user/dvdcollection field but to no avail. Can anyone who has got this to work point me in the right direction

The site field should contain the information to locate the server only. This would be the domain "ftp.domain.com" or the IPv4 address "192.168.1.1". The login depending on your server might require the domain as well, "user@domain.com". The path would be just "dvdcollection" as it's most likely that your FTP user login path is already set to the user directory. However, you mention that the preview does not work, this would happen even before there was any FTP activity. Try the FTP export and check your console log for any errors from DVDpedia.

When i click view this is the error i get

Not Found

The requested URL /dvdcollection was not found on this server.

Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.1.2 Server at 192.168.0.135 Port 80

console log errors

This is using just dvdcollection as the site path

/Users/steve/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/DVDpedia/pedia/Images/1.jpg
ftp://192.168.0.135/public_html/dvdcoll ... ages/1.jpg

second using the full path to the folder

Are you FTPing to a local server? The 192.168.0.135 is a local IP address. The error code 9 means that access was denied so it could be a domain address issue or a login/password issue.

Hi,

Yes it is a local Box i am ftp'ing too.

latest attempt, Realised i had the direct path wrong. Corrected. Still get the curl 9 message back. Varified the password and username using fetch which seams to work ok.

ftp://192.168.0.135/home/steve/public_h ... index.html

think i may have found the problem. The dvdcollection folder was owned by another user once i fixed that Problem solved. Thanks for all your help. Would never have worked it out without the Error link you provided

Glad you were able to figure it out and that the DVDpedia's console error was helpful.
