Hey folks,

I've been working on our company's web site and it has been coming along very well, however I'm now running into an uploading problem. I've posted many pages in the past weeks, however this weekend I created 2 pages and no matter what I tried I could not post them on the remote server. I tried putting, synchronize and even copy & paste. In the FTP log it says file cannot be found yet I can open it from local view. I've never had this problem before until this weekend.
Here what the FTP Log shows:

Thanks for any feed back.

Hi Derek,

The .lck (lock) files are used by Dreamweaver to enable check-in and check-out. They store information about who has checked out which file.

I haven't run into your problem before, but you may be able to work around it by temporarily disabling check-in/out in Dreamweaver. Then you should delete all .lck files form the server (if possible, look locally at the server, files may be hidden, or have your FTP account display hidden files).

Also, remove any .lck files you may have locally. They shouldn't be there, though.

Then try to synchronize your site. If it works, you can enable check-in/out again.

HtH,

Imar

try using another ftp client - www.downloads.com - I've run into problems before too using dw as an ftp client.

I disabled checkin/checkout and didn't seem to help any.

I think I will try another ftp client.

Thanks for the help guys.

Hi Imar, Adam,

I just wanted to follow up and let you know that once I stated using a ftp client, I quickly realised that I ran out of space on the web server because we already have our current site up on it . I was able to delete enough files that weren't being utilised to post the rest of my new site. Dreamweaver never gave me any clue that this was the problem although I have a feeling that I'll never make this mistake again

Cheers

Derek
