    On uploading I get the error "An error occurred while sending the merge request"

    Check the permissions on the server.

    Permissions for a Linux server:

    acatalog - 755
    cgi-bin - 755

    NOTE:
    It is sometimes useful to set permissions to 777 for testing purposes. If the error still occurs with permissions set to 777 then it is not a permissions problem.

    If setting permissions to 777 resolves the issue, then permissions can be gradually tightened to 775 and then 755 to see at what point the upload fails.

    In either case, permissions should be reset to 755 and the site examined to determine why the error is generated even when the correct permissions setting is used.

    Permissions for a Windows Server:

    IIS
    cgi-bin = read/execute
    acatalog=read/write/execute

    NTFS
    cgi-bin = Catalog's FTP account needs 'Change' permissions on the directory
    acatalog = Catalog's FTP account needs 'Change' permissions on the directory AND the IUSR_<servername> account needs to have 'Change' permissions on the directory
