Mike54 -> Strange Problem is stranger yet... (8/3/2004 10:43:18)

I've been trying to upload a couple of PDF's to one of the company websites for download but I can't get them to transfer.

This is the "detail" of the error message, which makes no sense since I'm not trying to view a page but transfer a file.

The page cannot be displayed There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed. Please try the following: Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

I've tried from two different machines with two different version of FP (FP2K3 and FP2K). Also, I have no trouble transferring the same PDF's either to one of my personal sites or another company site hosted on a different server.

When I ping the site I get "server time out". When I tracert I get "Destination Host Unreachable". If I publish the changes using FP the download links page is updated but the new PDF's won't transfer. If I open the site live I can transfer (drag and drop) Word and Excel files but not PDF's. I've tried older PDF's at 75 kb just to be sure it wasn't a file size issue, no joy. I'm at a loss. Ideas?

Checked the MIME types via the host control panel?

Per the Host nothing has changed (save for the constant flow of updates from M$$$ required to be installed[:'(]) . I've been uploading PDF's to the site for a couple of years with no problems previously, this is brand new. The whole site published to my local server without incident and I can work with it normally.
There are no MIME types listed at all (locally), besides shouldn't I be able to transfer a file with any extension from one folder to another? Whether it will run or not is another issue.

technically - yeah

FTp them? I think it's ASCII mode for PDF's....can't remember off the top of my head, it may not be you, it is more likely the host

Still I'd like to know why I can't use my "normal" method of drag and drop.[&:][&o][:(]

You may want to look into re-installing the FPSE as a precautionary measure...strange things happen with them

This little problem has now presented itself on my local server. I can no longer update Access dB's or move PDF's to my back up site copies for publishing. All I can think of is that it's related to an update. Any ideas or anyone having this problem? IIS 5.1 BTW



Giomanach -> RE: Strange Problem is stranger yet (8/5/2004 13:40:20)

Roll back the updates till you can upload via FP successfully on the PDfs etc

Mike54 -> RE: Strange Problem is stranger yet (8/5/2004 17:06:13)

Yeah figured I'd give that a shot but I had a choice, stay late to work on it or go out and enjoy the day the weather guys said wasn't going to be.[8D] Tough choice, I'll work on it tomorrow.[:D][:-]



Giomanach -> RE: Strange Problem is stranger yet (8/6/2004 3:34:14)

Oh yeah really hard choice...lol
