I am using the File Library plugin. When I browse to my file and upload it all seems well, except that the file is not there! It never made it to Web Crossing. |
Answer |
The problem is most typically due to the use of a "slash" ( "/" ) in one or more of the folder names that is part of the path you are uploading to. The browser and the server interpret the slash as a normal separator in a directory path and this obviously changes the interpreted destination for the file.
IOW a folder named "test / here" inside a folder named "mine" is seen by the browser and server as "mine/test/here".
There is no such folder named "test" with a subfolder of "here" so the upload gets lost.
To fix, EDIT the folder(s) and remove the slash from the "Filename for URLs:" to read "testHere".
This may also occur with other characters used in directory paths, like periods ( "." ) |
