file upload problems

arthurchappell · Post by **arthurchappell** » Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:17 am

Lately, as I try to upload files, especially photos to my web pages, the transfer fails. It effectively creates a blank photo page, and sometimes even a blank plain text file. It says Xeening (or something like that) as it struggles to transferthe file, but then fails it) Nothad this problem before, so what is wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks.

Thanks for the response - not sure what posting the log involves -
here is an image that has taken OK,

Here is one posted in just the same way that hasn't

http://www.arthurchappell.clara.net/arthur109.GIF

It posts a page, but leaves it effectively blank. It does this now with any page I try to post including overwrites of existing pages. That means it will replace a text or image page with a blank one, even if the text or immage are unchanged in any way. Very strange and very frstrating - all help appreciated.

This is thelog of my latest attempt to load just two files, one rext doc htm - the other a GIF photo - it'll do the same with any others too. - It's usually plainsailing so what's wrong here?

...or you can also find an image optimization tool. The image size of the properly uploaded image file is excessive for a grayscale gif. On a simple internet search, the first result that came up in my search is found below:
http://www.spinwave.com/crunchers.html

You can try to use that to shrink the size of your image files.

Tedious? Yes. Important? More than you'd believe.

Thanks for theadvise folks - still struggling - deleted a lot of files but still foindingthe same problem - not clear if full disk space means a/. amount allocated to FTP, or my web space as a whole being full, but given that i have about 50 megs allocated by Clara.net, and mostly use plain textand about 120 pictures, it seems unlikely - looked at the picture size cruncher, totally vbaffled by it - being a technophobe, bot sure whetehr to risk using some software I don't fully comprehend. Would changiong to another FTP down-loader make a difference and can anyone reccomend particular ones if so? Cheers.

Thanks folks, I have managed to salvage enough space to get all my cuurent updates to my files on properly now - there were quite a few files online that shouldn't have been, and which took up a lot of space - they are now history - though I expect I am still chronmicaly short of space. - your suppot is much appreciated.
