![]() ![]() You can avoid any worries about getting it wrong by looking at the very detailed video at: Synchronizing Folders with Transmit 5 that shows exactly how to use the synchronize function.Chris Hoffman is the former Editor-in-Chief of How-To Geek. if you line up the local folder in the left hand window of Transmit and log in to your web server in the right hand window you can then use the ‘synchronize’ function to update your site without needing to delete anything. I think this would be more straightforward than described in earlier posts. While all this was going on I published my site to a local folder (that worked all right) and thought about using Transmit (v.5.7.3) to update my site. So I presume something in the RW program had got corrupted. I tried a couple of reboots which made no difference so I uninstalled and then re-installed RW and it started working again. I had a dialogue with the tech department of my web host which pinpointed it was an RW problem and not a host problem. Yesterday I added just a few lines and half a dozen weblinks to my RW file but the uploading stalled at exactly the same point with “Couldn’t upload to your FTP server”. I have RW 8.8.2 and I’m running it on MacOS 11.2.3 on an Intel Mac. I rarely post on these forums but, since I had exactly the same problem with uploading files yesterday and was also considering using Transmit to get round it, I thought I’d add my two pennyworth. Once you are sure you are in the correct directory for your hosting company, then select the first file. On the right side is the server, make sure you are in the proper directory (e.g. Select the desktop and choose the empty folder. On the left side of the transmit window you will see your local computer. Make a new folder on the desktop, In this example I called it backup-site. Once you have gotten that worked out and you know that you have the correct directory, connect with transmit. I don’t use the same host you will need to figure out the login credentials and the directory (path) that you publish to. My first step would be to backup the current site. So letes get back to the subject of using Transmit to upload the site outside of RW. My best guess is that RW is exporting these files you just aren’t seeing them as images because of size take a much longer time to export to the remote server and that happens much faster on the local folder. That’s impossible to say from here, We don’t have access to the folder that you published or the directories on your server. If I understand how RW processes homepage files, I’ll feel better about pressing the delete button. Maybe I’ve just used up my allotment of RW publishings?Īnyway, please advise where RW hides exported files destined for the homepage. I could never clearly define what was happening I’d just go back, fix the problem and republish, and move on. For example, I’d make changes to a page, then find those changes appearing on a different page, but not on the intended page. Recently I noticed that RW seemed to be mixing up files during the automated uploads. Perhaps I could selectively upload files via Transmit without risking breaking the site? above.)ĭuring the normal publishing process, RW uploads many unrecognisable jpgs that don’t appear in the exported files. Where in that RW folder are all the files used on the homepage? (I’ve a lot of time invested in creating that page. ![]() Nowhere in the newly exported RW folders on my desktop do I see files for the homepage. If this new process (uploading RW files via cPanel or Transmit) were to fail, I’d be screwed. However, I am wary of deleting all files placed by RW on my server for these reasons:ĭeletion on the server is permanent. I say somewhat conform because I placed some folders there as storage for warehoused images for the Screrer stack, and a few others for non-RW ecommerce and backup files. Upon examination of contents of the new folder, I see lots of folders that ‘somewhat conform’ to folders existing on my server. Under File, I found the Export Site option, and exported the site to a new folder as you suggested. As Gary pointed out, space on some servers can be limited, though at my server at Fatcow, space is not a problem (Fatcow offers unlimited disk space for ‘normal’ website usage). ![]()
