Another upload issue (505 error)

Hello.

I have access to several different FTP locations, but 3 of them (out of around 25) have started giving me similar trouble. They are all on the same virtual server. I do not get the same problem with other FTP clients - they work as normal.

If I go to upload a bunch of folders full of sub-folders / files etc it creates all the required files and folders at the root level, however the folders all then sit in the queue with retry status, and never quite manage to upload any of their contents. If I manualy go through the folders and upload the contents myself it works, but I'm never going to manage that for every site!

An example log output for one of these folders is (domain and passwords xxx'd out):

..... and so that final block (09:20) continues to repeat itself...

The workers just all sit there retrying and retrying to upload, but never quite manage any of the contents of any of the folders.
Pretty much all of the settings for these favorites are the default. Filter is disabled. Nothing on the server has changed that I'm aware of...

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, but that made no difference which is no surprise.

I've exhuasted all my thoughts on this one and am running out of options. I've spent several hours trying to fix this one and am beginning to see no alternative but move to a different FTP client, somehting I don't want to do after many years use of SmartFTP

It would be great if I could get this sorted...

Try to delete all items from the transfer queue and add them again.

Then please post the log from the first item that fails.

Thank you

Try to delete all items from the transfer queue and add them again.

Then please post the log from the first item that fails.

Thanks. If I select all the folders I want to FTP and drop them on to the remote window the above issue happens, IE the folders at root level are created. These folders then sit in the queue with retry status. If I remove them from the queue then drag all the folder back over again SmartFTP asks if I want to merge, I say yes. It then goes on to successfully copy the contents of that folder up, however any SUB folders then sit in the queue, and the only way to get THOSE up is to drag those up directly again, IE I need to go through evey folder and drag every folder up twice.

EG:
drag up /index.php and /misc/
/index.php and /misc/ copy up, but remote /include/ is empty and sits in queue on retry
delete /misc/ from queue, drag it up again
FILES in /misc/ copy up fine, but any SUB folders copy up empty and are on retry in queue
In other words I need to go through every folder and sub-folder manualy copying everything up twice... very weird.

log from on of these subfolders:

Hmm I think the folder creation is successful but SmartFTP fails somewhere else. Please enable logging:
- Download: https://www.smartftp.com/Products/SmartF ... gLevel.zip
- Double click the "Enable Logging.reg"
- Start SmartFTP
- Try the transfer
- Now if something fails it is logged in the %AppData%\SmartFTP\Client 2.0\sfTransferQueue*.log file

Please email the log file(s) to support at smartftp.com

Thank you

Mat

Hm what is the full path to the local folder? Is this a regular folder (e.g. no network folder etc)?

Regards,
Mat

Found the bug. Bug fix on the way (30mins).

New version (.3) available now: https://www.smartftp.com/download

Please let me know if it works as expected now.

Regards,
Mat

Hello citrus ..

All favorites which had the skip filter disabled cause some code in the Transfer Queue to fail. The skip filter was enabled by default that's why the bug didn't manifest before.

Regards,
Mat

I am having the same problem regarding uploading of any file. I've got the newest version *019.15. The file just sits in the que---this didn't used to be the case and just started happening all of a sudden. The uploaded file name is created on the FTP server, but the bytes read as 0.

Double click the file in the queue. Then post the log here.

Mat

Hello ..

The first log you posted is incomplete. Please post the complete log.

In the 2nd log I can see that the server did not receive any data at all. Try to switch from passive mode to active mode as described in this article and then post the log again.
https://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/how- ... de-f1.html
If this doesn't work it's a network/server problem.
