Incorrect Error Message
« on: December 26, 2006, 04:32:33 PM »
Was trying to u/l a folder and a file to my web site using an ftp alias. I kept getting this very odd error message:

Message from the Server:

Yummy FTP could not find the remote directory to send your upload
Ensure the destination directory exists and try again

First, I doubt the server really is telling me about something Yummy was having issues with... including that it WAS Yummy! Funny, I've used this alias before and never had any issues with it.

When I simply double clicked on it, I got a "Login incorrect" message. Now THAT was useful, because I DID then remember something about my hosting outfit forcing a change in passwords. PLUS I remembered fussing around to have passwords come from my keychain. So I opened the alias and saw dots for the password. Wiped it out and bingo, no more totally incorrect error message, and it IS now working correctly.

Of course, I could also hunt up the string resource and replace it with "I screwed up, I have NO idea how or why, go ask Jason."

I'll take a look at this - obviously this isn't a generalised problem, but directly related to using an FTP Alias. Thanks for the report!

"I screwed up, I have NO idea how or why, go ask Jason."

This is brilliant, can we have this as an official message somewhere in the app? If it ever appears, we'll know that things have really gone pear-shaped, somehow. *giggle*
