Title: DT FTP not working today?
Post by: Peter on May 25, 2008, 02:42: I uploades yesterday about 60 images on FTP, it usualy take few minutes for them to appear in Unfinished files, but I got up this morning, it has passed oved 15 hurs since than, and they are still not in my Unfinished files (they are still on my ftp account). Strange. Anybody else have simmilar problem, or is it just me?

Post by: leaf on May 25, 2008, 04:44: yeah, same here. I have had files sitting on the server for at least 2 days now - they are sitting in the ftp folder but not being uploading into my unfinished files area on dreamstime.

I've been using their http uploader (http://www.dreamstime.com/uploadfile.php), which is a bit painful in that images have to be uploaded one-at-a-time. It sure would be nice if they allowed multiple images to uploaded this way!

Agree they need better http uploading, especially with flaky ftp. I never use ftp at FT for the same reason and the flash uploader works good.

Same here - FT's Flash Uploader is a cinch.

The system I like best is 123's Windows XP Publish Tool, which works from within the folder on your computer. I wish every site had this.

The problem was identified, all files uploaded on FTP will be imported with delays. Nothing is lost, please keep uploading, they'll get in your unfinished section with (big) delays until the importing gets back to normal.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Post by: dbvirago on May 26, 2008, 19:30: The problem is if you upload your limit each day, catching up will be difficult with 3 days backlog sitting on the server.

Post by: leaf on May 30, 2008, 02:02: My images which were uploaded perhaps a week ago were transfered to the site a couple days ago.

files ftp'ed yesterday have not been moved onto the site yet...
