Hi John,

Can you get in touch with Support (if you haven’t done so already), it’d be handy if you could send them your project along with your FTP details so we can test here and find out what’s going on.

Thanks  
Dan

My host provider has already tested everything and everything is ok  
RW support very slow in responding  
I can connect to server using ftp programmes but RW7 can’t  
Problem only started with up grade

Hi John,

Can you try turning the “Verify file transfers” off in the preferences and try publishing again.

 ![55 am](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/e/ecfa38291977e33a451bf576b5fcb719765f6e43.png)

Can you also email support with your RW file and FTP details.

Many Thanks  
Dan

Thanks Dan the only person helping really appreciate it  
Did what you said but same  
then changed mode to passive now not freezing but didn’t publish some file now idle or couldn’t upload  
I have managed to change most of site using cyberduck so host setting are correct

**UPDATE:** This issue has now been resolved, turns out the server path was incorrect and not a fault with RapidWeaver!
