The issue I have had ever since my client switched to their new hosting company (using FTPS) is that I am unable to upload directly from the RapidWeaver project file. I have to publish the files remotely and then upload them manually via Transmit.

Hi @Printdevil , That path field looks suspiciously empty. Are you absolutely sure you’re supposed to publish to root on that server? If yes - check your speed settings. RapidWeaver opens a lot of connections at once to speed up publishing, but some hosters don’t allow that. Click on the **Connections** dropdown and select the lowest speed possible. Then try again and see if it works. Cheers, Erwin ---

Hi Erwin, The publishing folder is definitely the root level as I can see that when I browse the server via the RapidWeaver publishing panel. Also I can login to the server through Transmit… ![Endo-Transmit-Settings](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/f/d/fdd562107421f18f8235ce5280bfd5e0b92a742d.jpeg) I have just tried publishing again at Connection speed of 1 and that failed in the same way. I then added a /test folder on the server and that didn’t work either. I am sure it has something to do with Explicit FPS and I think RapidWeaver struggles publishing to FTPES servers, if anyone has been able to get it working on FTPES servers I would love to know what the solution is.

OK, thanks for checking. It’s rare to see hosters setting up root for you to publish in, is all; that’s why I asked. I completely missed that you’re trying to publish over FTPES in your original post. I’m not entirely sure, but I don’t think RapidWeaver supports FTPES. It’s supports non-explicit FTPS though, as well as SFTP. This would explain why the handshake is reinitialised every few milliseconds. @differentdan will know for sure if FTPES is supported or not. Cheers, Erwin
