I have this same problem. I’m running RW 6.3.4. You’re right about publishing being a crapshoot. Does anybody know what is causing this, or have a solution?
I have the same problem uploading to Machighway. The workaround that is somewhat helpful for me is to quit and restart Rapidweaver 6.34. On restart, the file upload goes smoothly everytime.
I’m having the same issue with 6.3.4. Random error messages coming up when I try to publish. Newest one today is also ‘Failure when receiving data from the peer’.
It took me a while but I was finally able to figure out what the problem was.
Every time I published, Rapidweaver was not signing out my username/password from the server. If I called the host and asked them to clear all the users logged in (which was me from all the past publishing) it would work fine…till I hit the maximum amount of logins by my server again and had to have them clear all the logins again.
I had to move to publishing my files with Filezilla and it works fine.
Changing concurrent uploads didn’t make a difference.
I was browsing through the forums and someone with the same problem got around it by quitting Rapidweaver and going back in and then exporting, so I just tried that and it worked. Wierd or what?
Same problem here. Need to QUIT RW and reopen every time I want to upload the 2nd time. Basically got in the habit of not even trying anymore and just restarting RW everytime I want to upload. haha. Thats sometimes 20+ times in an hour to see minor changes etc.
Maybe should make it an automater action to restart rapid weaver before every upload?
This is exactly what I’m seeing too. If I log into my cpanel I can see connections lingering around as if RW isn’t closing them properly. No other FTP app has this issue when uploading, only RW.
Restarting Rapidweaver “solves” this recurring FTP Upload Error for me. My sites are hosted on Machighway. I usually have Transmit running concurrently. Will try closing that FTP app to see if it is contributing to the “Failure When Receiving Data From Peer”
Same problem, happening almost every upload. But then I hit publish again and it goes through okay. Go figure…
El Capitan, Stacks 3, RW 6.3.7
So glad I don’t have to restart RW each time I try to upload (like some), but it’s still a pain to have to do the upload twice (sometime 3 times) in a row each time I make a change to the site. Please find a fix for this. BTW tried lowering max concurrent uploads all the way down to 1, still no good. Using GoDaddy hosting.
I also have been having that problem. Seems that at best RW can upload once or rarely maybe twice before that error pops up. A restart seems to solve it but geese. LoL
Also a new issue started today.
Last night I was uploading a few changes and that error came up. This morning every time I try to upload it just hangs “Publishing your website” for a while then I get the error… "Couldn’t upload to your FTP server. Upload failed (at start/before it took off). I have changed how many concurrent connections from 1 to 6 all to no avail.
Nothing has changed with my FTP connection, Service provider, or website hosting service.
