Bookmark could not be saved
« on: October 01, 2014, 08:47:04 PM »
Getting the message:
The Bookmark could not be saved
Ensure your Bookmark name is valid, unique and that there is sufficient space on your hard drive

Not sure what what makes a "valid" bookmark name...
Not sure how much space needs to be available on my ftp server...

It connects to the server fine.....

It means your local hard drive, not the server...

Have you entered a name for the Bookmark? Look for the box with Name next to it - I'll bet it's empty?

Thanks so much for the reply - really hoping to make this work as an alternative to paying $10 a month for dropbox space

Name field says "Dropshare".  Still won't save it.
Do you know where its trying to save the bookmark?

Thanks again.

When you choose the Save the Alias the app presents the standard OS Save File chooser window, so you can choose exactly where to save. You would most likely want to choose the Desktop. So wherever you're trying to save right now probably either has an existing file with the same name, or doesn't have write permissions.
