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?

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.

Their FTP has been down for a while now. I've been using their http uploader, 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!

This has happened several times in the past. Half the time, the files get there eventually and the other half they disappear and you have to do the work again.

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.

any official news about this issue? still my files are no ftp account, and not in unfinished files.... :(

khwi

ok.. i decided to scrounge dreamstime for the thread..

An admin SID said
QuoteThe 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.

The problem is if you upload your limit each day, catching up will be difficult with 3 days backlog sitting on the server.

I lost my files from FTP, and they are not in unfinished files! Grat! Uploaded 2 days ago again to test, again files lost. argh!!!!

I have now over 100 files on my hdd waiting for them to fix the problem. Frustrating!

leaf

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...

looks like they still have a bit of a back log!

not sure how you lost your files though ???
