When I try to publish, I get this or similar errors: "Couldn’t upload DecodingExceptionInterface.php to your SFTP server! Unable to upload file, unstable connection or the server may be out of disk space.” My service provider has checked, and I have lots of disk space left, and he even upped it. He suggested trying uploading with cPanel. Does anybody else have this problem publishing with Classic? (I have only added some new forms with ChilliDog’s FormsPlus; Greg says it’s likely the server, but just wondering if it’s RapidWeaver before I fiddle with cPanel). ---

Hi @philomath, Try setting your connections in RapidWeaver to the slowest possible and retry. RapidWeaver by default opens multiple connections to your server at the same time while publishing, and that sometimes causes problems with certain server conficurations. When you set the connection speed to slowest, RapidWeaver will only open one connection at a time. If that doesn’t help, try selecting a different upload method. Instead of SFTP, try FTPS for example. Cheers, Erwin ---

Hi Erwin, Thank you so much! I was hoping someone would reply with a suggestion as my skills are pretty basic. I chose the slowest method, and it uploaded without a problem! All the best, ---

I was advised to downgrade to 9.5 as I had the same issue with the same error, with 9.6.2. had to upload via FileZilla that went without any issue. I do see lately a lot of updates on Elements, as it turns out I am not the only one with this problem, it would be appreciated to get this issue sorted out with hopefully a soon update in Classic as we still have paid for it! When can we expect this @dan ? ---

We always recommend running the latest version of Classic, especially as there have been some publishing updates to improve the system. Have you tried running though this checklist: > **[How to fix Publishing Issues | Classic Manual](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/classic-manual/user-manual/publishing/how-to-fix-publishing-issues)** > > Publishing Issues and how to fix them Can I also suggest you connect via SFTP (if you’re not already). Let me know how you get on. _Also cc’ing in @differentdan for help on this one._ ---

I get the same error message (instable connection or disk limit) on both RW 8.9.4 and on RW Classic. I‘m on HOSTPOINT servers in Switzerland. Uploading by FTP program works fine. So I‘m just searching for a workaround or a solution. Reducing upload speed and changing protocols (FTP, FTPS) did not resolve the issue. ---

Have you tried on the latest version of Classic, v 9.6.8? And have you run through the help doc? > **[How to fix Publishing Issues | Classic Manual](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/classic-manual/user-manual/publishing/how-to-fix-publishing-issues)** > > Publishing Issues and how to fix them ---

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, I‘ve also tried with newest RWC. The difference is that RWC tries to restart the upload several times but then gets stuck anyway (ca. 5th try). I get the ping error 410 then 404 before stopping. With RW I can transfer some (of the 1200) files with FTPS protocol but with RWC it fails (same credentials) from the start. Both apps can do the TEST credentials procedure and browsing is successful with FTP/FTPS. I have a fast Internet connection (7.5gbps) but even with speed option „1“ it‘s not uploading the files. What scenario do you propose to get the most out of the logging data? ---

Hey @juebai If you’d like to try and troubleshoot this in real-time feel free to reach out to me at support@realmacsoftware.com and we can get something scheduled. I usually need to have a look in your web hosting control panel which requires a live one-on-one session. ---

Thank you a lot for our quick zoom session today. The solution: there was no other way than using SFTP as transfer protocol. But this worked out nicely.
