Win 7 Home [Ver. 6.1 Build 7601: Service Pack 1]...Big powerful PC...web-domains =www.here-ugo.com and mavpca.org...running Win Explorer.
I can create "FTP Drives" that appear in the left pane of WE. Some times they work. Work = drag & drop to drive transfers file(s) to domain. Copy and paste works more often than drag & drop. Occasionally either method results in the file(s) appearing in the left pane, but they don't really exist on the domain. How do I know that?
- Running an ftp client program shows that the subject file is missing
- Double clicking on the subject file results n an error
- Trying to delete the subject file results in an error
- Only getting out and re-launching makes the "ghost file" disappear!
The "good" FTP Drives show: Computer > ftp.(domain) > on the top line of WE.
The "bad" FTP Drives show: Internet > ftp.(domain) > on the top line of WE.Actually, "bad" FTP Drives momentarily show "Computer" before changing to "Internet".
Clicking on the "expand" arrow of a "good" FTP Drive in the left pane will show all folders [they are also shown in the right pane, of course]. Clicking on the "expand" arrow of a "bad" FTP Drive in the left pane will show nothing below it.
"Good" FTP Drives show a small window during file transfer that has a WORKING progress bar. "Bad" FTP Drives either do not show the window or it goes away before the progress bar displays.
I have spent 3 days on this. I have a flat ear. Many hours on phone with ISP and MS CS [at one point, I got a guy in OR who spoke English...he was very helpful, but since he only knew about Surface issues, he handed me off to folks in Manila. They insisted they were "Pro-level" support, but I could tell they didn't have a clue and I wasn't about to spend $200-$500 w/ them!
I guess I should say that I have a friend with a domain. We both tried to upload from WE to BOTH domains w/ no success.
Should I give up and just use an FTP Client? Why have a documented FTP facility in WE if it doesn't work?
Any help would be appreciated...
