Hello @dan hello people, anyone experiencing the same problems?
Publishing on Strato.de since RW8.1 is getting problematic.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Mainly it works at first issue, publishing one only page.
As soon as the work is bigger (even with compatibility mode speed) and involves more than one page it does not work. Timeout reached says the information about the error.
I tried:
new site
new ftp access
new parameters
With exactly the same parameters Cyberduck performs the task, but it is not the same way of working! It does not permit trial and error
Yes, I have a similar problem with strato for about 3 months now. The error message is not the same but it is probably a RapidWeaver problem as this occurs only since an upgrade.
I have resorted to exporting the site to a directory on my desktop and using “Yummy ftp Pro” to upload the content to a directory that I then swap names with the original. Of course a fix would be good but life is too short. ! Attached the ftp settings I use.
FTP is outside of my area of influence, but I do FTP a lot of files, so I’ll tell you what I do when this kind of thing happens to me:
First, I’d try a different protocol, if your hosting company supports it.
Some hosts have much better support for FTPS than for SFTP and of course, vice versa. Sometimes one is very fast and the other is very slow. It’s worth trying even if things are working.
Then, I’d try deleting all of the Publishing settings, and re-adding FTPS and SFTP again by hand. No copy/paste from the broken one – just in case.
My short anecdote:
Once, a long time ago, I had an FTP issue I couldn’t fix for the longest time. I knew my password was right, I knew URL was right, and all the rest looked just like the working setup to the same host in Coda.
So I deleted everything, but when re-entering it from scratch I took a shortcut to copy from the old setup – and the “Path” had an extra space character.
I’m not sure if the problems started occurring when I accidentally typed the extra " ", or perhaps the host just stopped being tolerant of the extra space one day. But I know that removing the space fixed the problem.
If you have tried doing this sort of thing already, then don’t bother doing it again obviously – but do tell us a few of the things you have tried over the past three months.
Knowing what things have been tried and failed to have an effect can help bug hunters at Realmac narrow down their search too.
Thank You @Isaiah , it is a very good suggestion… I’ve tried it several times renewing and rewriting the whole, no hidden spaces or strange characters. It happened to me once with a ctrl-D that was an invisible character since then I’m very careful with typing.
…it looks I have to wait for the next upgrade. Meanwhile I’ll try to figure out the steps that lead to success because it is far more seldom in the last week.
I just set a new sftp account. This worked. Let’s see if it will continue working in the next few days… functioning was random 98% negative in the last week.
I keep You informed, if this is the solution.
take a screenshot of the functional settings. it won’t show the password, but it will show everything else. that way you can always be 100% sure on every setting other than the password. and if everything else is known, you can always sent the host a password-reset and get that last bit too.
once you have a working setup – you know all other failures are either host (your webserver), client (RapidWeaver), or the connection – your 'net provider.
so from here, pay close attention to any error messages. there’s a small blue “i” in some of the FTP feedback windows that you can click on to get the actual server messages and low level network errors when they happen.
if you have a failure and get one of those messages, post it back here and we’ll go from there.
Thank You @Isaiah . I took the Sunday off. Later on today I’ll work on that. Should I have problems, I’ll post them here.
Should the problem be lost, then I’ll post the solution that worked for me
@sandokandrea I’m please you resolved the issue, and are back-up and running.
For anyone else reading this thread and having problems publishing, please remember to go through our How to Fix Publishing Issues help guide, and to use RapidWeaver 8.8.2 or greater as it has the “Upload Logging” feature.
because it is far more seldom in the last week.
