Title: Fotolia FTP problem?
Post by: mantonino on February 01, 2009, 23:34
Is Fotolia FTP down or ???  I've been unable to connect to it for like 3 hrs or so... dunno if it's just me though.

I gave up on their FTP ages ago.
Try their Flash uploader (http://www.fotolia.com/Member/Contents/Upload/Flash) - it's never down!

I uploaded a lot of images using FTP yesterday. But they have not appeared in my Files section yet. Shall I upload them again using Flash uploader? And what if the originally uploaded images appeared later? Everything would be uploaded twice...

I tried uploading a video clip but that hasn't arrived yet.  They will have to fix FTP if they want to build up a footage section.

I am able to connect and transfer files via FTP, but they aren't appearing in my Fotolia file list. Yesterday was the same (although Saturday was ok).

Has anything like that happened before? Is it advisable to wait for the files to appear or to upload them again?

I've had similar issue before with Dreamstime, but don't recall with Fotolia.

[update] the issue is apparently fixed now. The pictures I uploaded yesterday and earlier today are lost; but the new ones show up normally.

I hadn't had this issue on FT before but apparently going to bed and waking up fixed it - I'm uploading regularly now.

I wonder if it was people loading all their vids that crashed us out!  lol  Ah well, it's working.  Thanks for letting me know it wasn't just me this time.

Yes, I have problems with uploading with FTP to Fotolia too. For a few days now.
I think I will try the flash uploader for a while. Never had problems before, but "never"is not so very long in my case.... ;D
