Cannot upload some files to Dropbox through browser UI

I love and defend Firefox but I have to admit that it is giving me some grief lately. I run a Dropbox account which I access through the browser and its UI allows for drag and drop file uploads as well as more 'conventional' file uploading. In recent days I find certain file uploads are OK via Firefox (such as a 1mb PDF) but I cannot upload for instance a 30mb MP3 or a ZIP file - it tries but ultimately fails. A small 500kb MP3 is fine so it seems to be a file size rather than file type issue (there is a Dropbox limitation on file size but I am way below that). Also when using Firefox with the same Dropbox UI, I get odd errors like 'folder does not exist' even when I am not trying to access a folder or 'there was a problem completing the request' when trying to access a folder, even when it then allows access. I have raised all this with Dropbox forum and I am advised it is a browser problem (they would say that right?). However, I have control-tested using Safari and IE, etc, and I cannot replicate any of the problems. Uploads of large files (the exact same files) are fine in those browsers, no odd errors while testing. I was using Fx V 22x on Win7 x64 Pro but today got a push notification to update to Fx v23.0.1 which I have done, but still these problems persist. My plugins were few, long installed, and sound (Tabmix Plus, Firebug, FireFTP, etc) and not conflicted or out of date. Java was not enabled in the browser. However, to further control test, I have just done a Firefox RESET from the help menu and tried again without any plugins running. Same problem with larger file upload. It seems Firefox is having some issues doing things that other browsers are fine about...

I have suffered from this during the past three days.
Firefox 23.0, Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
on a 32-bit Ubuntu PC. So the system couldn't be more different.
I was trying to upload .MP3 files of 27MB. From about a dozen attempts with one file, no success whatever. On the other hand a different file worked first time. But a later attempt with a 14 MB .wav failed, so it's not related to the file.
On the other hand an upload with Chrome worked perfectly. So it does look like a browser problem.
Watching the system monitor during upload, it runs freely for about 9MB, then stops abruptly. At the same time, the message at the bottom left of the browser window, relating to dl-web.dropbox, disappears.
The text of the message differed between Firefox & Chrome, but I imagine that's just a textual, rather than a functional, difference.

When I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure, but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm

Hi
I have an uploading problem to the server. The problem is when I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure,
but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm, or three stages1.htm.
My Localroot folder is C:\Gods Plan Web\
The site map layout is C:\Gods Plan Web\Index.htm
The folder for the remote site is /public_html/
Should the local root folder mirror the remote site, i.e./public_html/
if this is so, what should I put into the
(a) Local Root Folder box?
(b) site map layout box?
The FTP is performing well other than changing the intended file.

You should be uploading only the contents of your local root to the public_html folder (remote root).
The index.html you use as your site's home page needs to be in your site root. If you look at your Files window in DW, you should have something like the following...
Site - Whatever you named your site
     index.html
     images
     pages
          page1.html
          page2.html
If you have any folder between Site - and the index.html page, like...
Site - Whatever you named your site
     mywebsite
          index.html
It will upload to the public_html while still in that folder, so to find your page online, you would need to type something like...
www.mydomain.com/mywebsite
public_html should NOT appear within your local files and if it existed there, would cause a redundancy if uploaded. You would need to type www.yourdomain.com/public_html to see the uploaded pages.
If you could post a screen shot of your expanded Files window while connected to the server (just connect and click the Expand button in Files, don't drill down into any of the directories), we may be able to see the issue.

Try have a look at the following note: 898637: Upload to KM does not work
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_ep_km/~form/handler%7B5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d383938363337%7D">Upload to KM does not work</a>
The error seems to be related to a problem with writing into the directory for temporary data.

I want to upload some files from mobile phone to webserver? how? thanks!

I want to upload some files from mobile phone to webserver? how? thanks!

The vibrating phone was created in Java. Some british company is selling the program to women for on the go fun. I'm pretty sure the actual code in the program is only a few lines.
Oh... you were talking to the other guy. He wants a java app to upload something to a JSP or database server.

Fixing a CS5.5 problem in uploading some files.

Some files are being skipped while uploading to my website using CS5.5. I am getting messages "Some files were skipped during the last operations..." and "There was no response from server while transferring file ..." . The particular files that are skipped are not consistent. Upon trying to upload again, other files are skipped and those that were skipped before appear.

Nancy, I just wanted to let you know that I successfully located my personal configuration in my Mac OS S, and deleted the MacFileCache. That had no affect what-so-ever in correcting my problem of some gifs not being uploaded to my Dreamweaver web site. Per the directions in the web site, I also tried renaming " Configuration" as "Configuration_old." I started everything up again, and the problem is still there. Intermittently in the last 5 days I have had a continuous string of "There was no response from server while transferring file gif…." and "Some files were skipped during the last operations." I have even had "Forbidden-You don't have permission to access/ on this server? In that case my" index page" won't open.
I have called Dreamweaver support, have been given a Case #, and waited about 72 hours with no response from them. I've also contacted my internet provider (NUVU), Apple Support, and Dotster Support (my website host). All say they don't know what the problem is, but they've tested everything at their end and it all works.
Do you have any other suggestions for how I might correct this situation. FYI. Most of the gifs that are disappearing from my site have been on it for months with no problem and the particular gifs that disappear each time I try to "put" my pages change over time.

How can I force iTunes to skip uploading some files to iCloud?

I have a *lot* of college level courses from The Great Courses in iTunes. I have no need of having them in iCloud. How do I force iTunes to NOT upload these files? I only need my music in iCloud and not these lectures. Besides, The Great Courses has an iOS app that already lets me stream these if I choose. So there is no need for them to be uploaded into iCloud.
Linda

Thank you. Actually they are uploading. I had purchased the CD's. Each lecture is divided into 6 files on the CD's. I used "Join Together" and Quicktime and joined all of the tracks together for 1 file per lecture. Those don't exist, as I have them, in iCloud. So, iTunes is in fact uploading all of these files.
The link you provided was for hiding purchases. These were not purchased through Apple.
So, the question remains. Is there a way to prevent iTunes from uploading certain files into iCloud?
Thanks,
Linda

Cannot view PDF files in a Web Browser

When I click on a link in IE 7 it's supposed to open a PDF page but I keep getting error message:
"The adobe acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again"
However, I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro installed on my machine, so I think it should work. After all, it's the pro version. Do I need to download/install Adobe Reader 8 or 9? If so, why, since I've already got Pro 9 installed.
What can I do to get passed this? This task is part of an online course I'm taking per work requirements.
thx,
John

All wave files must meet the following requirements
8-bit or 16-bit file
Linear pulse code modulation (LPCM), A-Law, or mu-Law format
Mono or stereo
4MB or less
For the best performance of wave files, a 16 kHz, mono, 16-bit Wave file is recommended.
get a file converted to above specs and upload. it should work.

Cannot copy (some) files to NAS

Hi,
I'm trying to copy some .potx-files (PowerPoint templates) to a NAS-server and get an error message (in danish) that says:
+"Handlingen kan ikke udføres, fordi du ikke har tilladelse til at få adgang til nogle af emnerne."+
Translated it sounds something like:
+"The action can not be completed because you do not have permission to access some of the files."+
- I can copy a .jpg-file to the same NAS-share without any problems.
- This error occurs once in a while for some files...
- I have read/write permission to the files and can copy/move them to any other location on the Mac.
- I have tried different shares on the NAS and the same error occurs ... but only for these files. Not the jpg, or any other file.

I have read other threads that indicate there is a Finder bug relating to NAS drives in 10.6.x

Cannot sync some files..w

Hello all.
I am using Muvo N200.
I tried syncing a playlist I had and some files could not sync with player. Creative software just says there was an error and thats it. Any idea why a file would not sync?
Thanks.

I am using the software that it came with. Can't remember the name. I am just opening a playlist and using the arrow buttons to transfer the songs to the Muvo folder in the right window. Out of 28 songs 0 failed so it works for some but not others.

Try uploading when in Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause. You can try disabling hardware acceleration as well to see if that might be causing it - though I would be surprised if that would affect this.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Cannot access some files on my webserver when conn...

Hi,
I have a lightweight computer connected to my Business Hub router, running an Apache web server for light use. The router is set up to portforward port 80 to this machine.
Now, using any device I own, if I connect (wirelessly or otherwise) to this same router, open a browser, type in my router's public IP, and browse around, I see my website, but many files consistently will NOT download (mostly images and unusual file types like .tar.gz and .db).
If I, or anyone else, uses a different Internet connection (any connection other than the BT broadband service that my router is connected to), opens a browser, types in my router's public IP, and browses around, they see the website and can download any and all files, including images, and archives, and databases, and absolutely everything else.
Additionally, when I'm connected to my Business Hub router, and I type in the web server's local IP (a.k.a. 192.168.1.xxx), I can download all files fine through the local network. I can't download all these files, as said, by connecting to my own global IP.
This is very strange. I've asked around on other forums and gotten no response. What's the deal?
EDIT: I'd also like to mention that this issue has existed for months (since I set up the web server, in fact), and it affects all operating systems and all devices (I've tested on iOS, Windows Vista, Windows 7, several Linux distributions, and from the machine running the server itself).

This is actually the BT Residential Forum, business users have their own forum at this address.
http://business.forums.bt.com/
Someone there may be able to offer advice, as you will be on a static public IP address, as opposed to a dynamic one, which residential users have.
