FTP Problem following menu change

tommo — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:50:14 GMT

I have been running a second website from my main domain mid-sussexbbl.co.uk using the free webspace facility - for several months without too many problems.

As instructed the second website is held in a suitcase under the main domain and is 'pointed' to www.horshambarbilliards.co.uk.

I update into the suitcase using the FTP agent FileZilla.

I have recently reconfigured the menu setting on the supplementary domain but can't get it to register on FTP prior to transfer. The relevant files I want to pull across are 'index' and 'menu'. The message that comes up is "Problem loading page. File at /C:/Users/clivet/AppData/Local/Temp/fztemp-1/home.html cannot be found. Check the file name for capitalisation or other typing errors. Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted."

I have checked for the temporary file in my C: drive and there is one, but it's called "fz3temp-lockfile". This would seem to suggest that a temorary file has been created automatically by an application, but has become blocked.

A way round, please.

Hi Tommo,

The file "fz3temp-lockfile" is a file associated with Filezilla, it would seem that file is stopping you form actioning your needs.

What was the changes to the configuaration you made previously?

Have you tried the windows FTP to see if this will allow you to complete the FTP upload?

good luck

🙂

Thank you, Rarr,

You gave me a useful pointer by indentifying the problem as being associated with Filezilla. Confident that there was 'nothing wrong' with FTP, I got round the situation by deleting all the files I had previously loaded into memory, as well as the suitcase within the main domain, and loaded everything else up anew. This time it worked a treat.

My guess is that the recent version update of Filezilla caused an incompatibilty with files previously loaded to the suitcase using the earlier version.

Thanks once again.
