I have started moving my portfolio to Veer, but about 2 weeks ago, halfway through an upload, everything just stopped. The images transfers all the way, right up to the final byte, and then there is an error, and it never makes it to the site.

I have contacted Veer, and Ryan came back to me requesting that I double check my settings, which I did. I also updated my FTP software (Transmit) to the latest version (ver4) and still no luck.

I have tried smaller files (in case it was a filesize issue) but no go... always exactly the same.

The error I get is:

425: Data channel timed out due to not meeting the minimum bandwidth requirement.
Error - 132: could not send file to remote host

I am on a 8mb DSL line, and my test this morning to Veer connected at about 65Kb/s (to anything else it goes to about 80-90Kb/s)

I have also tried to connect via PhotoShelter (my preferred distribution system) but the server setup there cannot do explicit TLS only sFTP

It seems everybody else is happily chugging allong with their uploads, so, if I am the only one, is there anybody that can give me any kind of indication as to what possibly might have gone wrong, or what I need to change? (or better, how to set up my photoshelter FTP to connect to Veer)

Ryan thinks it's a problem on my connection, but of the 18 different FTP servers I have connected to this month, transferring files between 1mb and about 165mb only Veer's has a problem... so I am flumoxed 

Any help would be appreciated, Thanx!

My Setup: Macbook Pro on MacOS10.6, Transmit 4, 8mb DSL

My password gets accepted fine... but the FTP transfer just doesn't complete... confused

The same here, just images upload halfway, not exactly to the last byte....but it's annoying anyway.

I can upload through http... but one by one is an awesome pain!

I thought the same as you, so I switched on keep alive and 'tickle' for long period uploads, but even then, 7mb file takes less than a minute to ...erm ... almost complete

I did notice that it's an error native to IIS7 (can't seem to find anything similar on other FTP servers) but then again... don't really see a corbis site running on anything else

You can upload multiples through the browser uploader...when you get to your window to choose your photos, just command click (mac) multiple files, then when you are done selecting them all, hit select and it will process them all at once.

For me, it's just as fast as FTP upload. But IIRC Forgiss has a slow internet connection. (I could be thinking of someone else...sorry if that's not true the other Sean.)

Hi Forgiss,
I have a same error with Transmit 4... But it work on Transmit 3.6.8

Why do you waste your time with veer?

Just tried my first FTP with Veer and, like everyone esle, it will not compete the transfer.  The problem is, when I tried going back to using their browser upload, the system continually tries to process the FTP files and locks up so I can't access any of my uploaded files in order to submit them.  So now I am unable to upload anything to them.  Waiting for a reply from an email to them, but very disappointing, especially during the Dash for Cash period.

The Veer FTP upload simply doesn't work. Their Flash upload fails half of the time and then blocks Firefox, to the extent you have to kill it by the Task Manager and restart. What a waste of time!

Hi all,

we did have some issues with our FTP server after our site maintenance on Saturday, but we have located and corrected the problem.  From what I can tell via email, folks have been able to once again use the FTP system, so if you haven't tried again since encountering the error over the weekend, I encourage you to do so now.

Thanks!

Ok... just an update.

After their weekend server update, I cannot connect to the server anymore, it now rejects my password

I have reverted to uploading through http... it's a bit of a screwup, because you can't use the automated systems of the Mac or FTP software, but, I suppose it's better than nothing

There is a thread in the Veer forum that talks about FTP:

Scroll down to "Free Mac FTP client that works". Funny, that's the name of the thread, but the poster never says which free Mac FTP client works!



Someone replied and said yummy works, they use it every day.

I was using Fetch and getting a bad password error. I also gave up and went to http, which isn't so bad.
