Thanks - that is quite clear.

Mike That first test was not fair as it was attempting something the plugin wasn't designed for. My second test was to copy the contents of 1 of the sub-folders. This worked OK despite folder name containing an underscore. The third test was a sub-folder containing 334 items each with an underscore ...

Mike I added 2 sub folders to my Test folder (source and target) and then repeated my test It only transferred the single file that was originally there for the previous tests. I assume the directory List returned 1 file and 2 folders and it only processed the file. The new folders I'd added to the ...

I'm planning a big test on Monday as my wife and I are both out all day so I can do a long upload.
By the way when you modified it for special characters in folder name did you include the use of blanks?

Bill

Mike That works fine with my test. I ran it once with target folder empty - that uploaded the single file - correct Ran it again - reports nothing to update - correct. The trace is helpful - worth adding info to the help if not already done. I'll do a big run soon when my wife isn't hogging this PC ...

Mike I'll try the version with the trace later. A trace is always good to have available if anybody else has problems. Below is text of E-mail I sent to Rootsweb. You'd think that a standard that was written in 1985 would be well known by now. Bill E-mail to Rootsweb " I have had a lot of problems u...

Mike Cracked it. The folder name is case sensitive. test should have a capital T. It did have in previous tests but lost it when I retyped it today. Thanks for your help. When my PC is going to be idle for 6 hours I'll try it with a live website so that the following time there should be less to cha...

Mike

Sorry got that wrong.
I'd lost the sub folder on the settings which is why before it went into the wrong level.

When I ran it again I got the attached.
On inspection with IPSwitch nothing had been transferred.

So the STOR doesn't like the subfolder.

I think I'll try it with the Debug

Bill

Mike

That improves it a bit.
It only transferred one file but to the level above the folder Test.

I wonder if the folder needs a trailing /

I need to keep separate folders - one for each tree.

Bill

Mike

I've inspected the site with IPSwitch.

I think this is what happened in the Plugin.
The STOR operation to upload index.html didn't put it in Test.
It stored it at the next level up
and then tried to delete the 3 folders at that level !
It claims it updated 4 items

Bill

Mike

The folder Test is still there on Host and Server.
It's one of 3 folders at that level in both places.
The other 2 are large - containing trees.
The folder Test contains a single item - index.html in both places.

Bill

Mike

Done and tested.

I get this error msg - see attachment
It then tries to process the other folders in the from folder.

Is the trace still there?

Bill

Mike

I wait to see your workaround.

Re Upper Case - I see that some of the other commands are already in upper case !!

Thanks

Bill

Mike

Didn't cross out all the passwords.
Any way you can delete that bit from the web.

Bill

Mike I may have cracked it.

Mike

I'm not sure I understand this.

Bill

Mike

Have you seen this
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/why_do_my_ ... freeze_up/

Not an exact match as I think it's a Linux environment
But it looks as though we need PASV mode as in IPSWITCH
Don't know how to do that in LUA

Do you have access to the source of ftp.get ?

Bill

Mike

Already tried - that no luck

Try ftp://users.freepages.rootsweb.com in your browser.
It takes you correctly to the logon screen.

So Site, User and Password are correct on that route.

Does LUA offer any form of trace?

Bill

Mike Tried using anonymous and no password. Got immediate message about needing to login so it must have got to the site. So suggests that with my settings it must be logging in OK and suggests problem must be associated with the Folder. I think I might try Email to Rootsweb for advice and see if th...

Mike I did all the following with stop debugging at the if after ftp.get 1 Removing users. made no difference 2 Removing /Test made no difference 3 Tried the folder in quotes - no change 4 Tried the folder blank - no change 5 Got your expected result with the Microsoft site I did that test from the ...

Mike

It is the IPSWITCH connection log that it maintains for every session.
I don't know how to get a log from the plugin.
