revised upload method

[pinbrook]

is this coming out with 7.0.1?

[Mike Hughes]

I saw a post from chris somewhere that said the release order was:

1) 7.0.1 - bug fixes
2) 6.1.5 - new FTP upload (possibly fixes?)
3) 7.0.2 - new ftp upload for V7 (plus whatever else?)

That's right.

6.1.5 and 7.0.2 will contain the 'Enhanced FTP' upload method.

Hi Chris,
Can we have a release date for 6.1.5? (Overdue by now I reckon )

[cdicken]

No release date is available yet Nick. Sorry about that.

Now 7.0.1 is out, the development team is turning their attention to 6.1.5, We are currently building and testing it - but as the Enhanced FTP represents a substantial change in the technology, we don't want to rush it out.

so V7.02 wont be out for a long time then, if the ftp is going to be fixed in V6.1.5 first?

so im stuck between the devil and the deep blue see. cant use any other Versions higher than V6.1 as i have custom scripts and V7 has the enhancements but i will have to spend a day messing around getting the upload done.

the only way i have found around this problem is to disconnect when actinic freezes, this forces the error then reconnect click retry and it will carry on, any files that got messed up will then need to be updated by uploading again & again until it all goes through

cheers
Darren

Mark at TiggyPig has reported that the upload on V7 is slow, Chris Barling has offered to investigate this. But I think the implications for you (Darren) is to hang on for the 6.1.5 release. Hopefully this will be before 7.0.2.

Actinic have to get this right so I guess we have to be patient

Hi Jo

the problem is i cant use V6.1.5, i am getting more convinced that broadband is also causing problems, i had to use the pinbrook dial up to make a couple of minor changes today, no problems, broadband wont even let me view my site, i can view the home page but cant even get into there help area to send a complaint about the service

Cheers

BT have some problems with their DNS servers, and as a result a number of websites are invisible to their broadband customers - no date on a fix yet (BT Broadband is crap, allegedly )

You can change your DNS servers to someone else, I often use freeserve. Just get properties on the broadband connection, go to Networking tab, double-click TCP/IP tab, tick "Use the following DNS server address" and fill in some DNS servers. Here are some:

FREESERVE
=========
195.92.195.94
195.92.195.95


BLUEYONDER
==========
193.38.113.3
194.117.157.4

Cheers,

Cheers for that, so i can use the freeserve & blueyonder DNS servers with my current connection then

sounds like a cure to me

i have changed back to the BT ones for now so if anyone else has any others then we can certainly give it a go.

try setting the DNS numbers and see how you get on

213.120.62.103
213.120.62.104

Cheers

ps i would ring them back and tell them you know of someone else who has the problem, perhaps we should start a site listing BT faults then tell the bod on the end of the phone to take a look
