1. Installed "FileZilla 3.3.5.1-i586" linked in this thread.
It installed and ran just fine.

PROBLEM! :(
2. Entered the "Host:", "Username:", "Password:", "Port:", and clicked "Quickconnect".
OK'd the username...
Seemed to accept the password, although didn't say OK after it.
That is:
Command: PASS ********
Then said:
Response: 421 Home directory not available - aborting
And...
Error: Could not connect to server

3. Does a highlighted file transfer automatically once the client has succeeded in connecting to the server?

Hello CatDude.
Got your PM.
Shouldn't you be posting in this thread so all can benefit, rather than in private so only I see the info?

1. Ran gFTP, and all but password was already in place.
Added the password.

2. Clicked "Bookmarks->Add Bookmark", but saw nothing happen.
Is it saved unseen?
I don't even know how to save a bookmark! :(

3. Clicked "Bookmarks->Edit bookmarks", and was shown a list of sites.
Wasn't sure which to choose.
Chose "X11_Sites->ftp.x.org" [has the ftp at the start], and the right-hand-pane displayed lots of folders, and it seemed like I'd just transferred lots of stuff I didn't want to transfer. :?
Oh dear me!

4. Navigated to /mnt/home/petfiles.tar.gz and clicked the now available right-arrow.
Looks like that failed.
Are there any instructions on how to use gFTP?
I'll play around with it, and see what happens.

If that's what you want.

I will re-post the two PM's that i had sent you.

Here you go.
In my first PM i wrote:Hello Sylvander

I hope you don't think i'm being too forward,
but i noticed the following post by you in the Lost Puppy Pet files? thread.
Sylvander wrote:1. "upload via ftp"
I believe I've never done that before; how is it done?

I hope the following sequence of images will help you.
One you have done it, you will see that it is really quite easy.

All the best

And then....
In my second PM i wrote:Hello mate

I am here if i can be of any assistance to you.

I am talking with regard to gFTP here.

Did you make a bookmark after entering the details provided by russoodle Question

If you did.
Go to: Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks
In the window that opens find and highlight the bookmark for russoodles site
Then click on: File > Properties

Make sure the protocol is set to FTP
Then click Save in the: Edit Entry window,
and again in the: Edit Bookmarks window.

Then try using the Bookmark to connect,
it should do it automatically without any need to hit the connect button.

Most definitely.....my gratitude, CatDude, for your help here :D

By the way Sylvander, what you see as the files on my server in CatDude's screenshots are the files in the directory to which he has access, ie. the 'catdude' folder....the one you'd be uploading to won't show anything before you upload because there's nothing in there at the moment.

Hi

@ cthisbear
You are so kind.
Though as you (and most others) are already aware,
i am a great believer in letting the pictures do the talking (so to speak :wink: )

@ russoodle
No problem my dear, always happy to help.
I suppose i should have pointed out about those files/directories,
but i assumed that Sylvander would realise the score on that one.

1. Finally got back to working on this now that mothers' day is over, and all visitors [plus little angel/terrors] have gone home. :D

2. I'm unable to connect to the server...
Tried using gFTP then FileZilla. [See screenshot]
I notice the port number disappears from its window after the connect attempt.
Host, Username, and Password, remain in place.

Hello Sylvander

I cannot help you with FileZilla as i do not use it myself.

When you try using gFTP,
what is the error message in the bottom window :?:

Xarchive supports loads archive formats. Look at it's wrappers. You can enable support of even more with my Improved Xarchive Wrappers.

Sylvander, I don't know what the problem is with that account, but for now i'm going to delete it and create another one for you....i couldn't log in to it via ftp either, although i could to the rest of my site. Sorry for all your hassles, it's not the usual thing.. :?

I'll PM you with the new details.

Edit: New account details sent via PM and, as CatDude expresses so eloquently below, fingers crossed this time! :D

1. New account failed in both gFTP and FileZilla.
For report of failure:
gFTP: see screenshot 00.
FileZilla: see screenshot 01.

2. Took great care to get the input details correct.
Ctrl+c to copy from PM, and shift+inset to past into the correct windows.

Hi All,

When I was doing the ftp thing there was a repeated error with cut and paste.
Sometimes an invisible space was created at the end of a cut line, thus messing up the login.

CatDude...agreed....type the login in without cut/paste...this solved many problems.

SUCCESS! :D 8)

1. Manually typed in the password to gFTP.
12 complex-characters.
Awkward to type.

2. Transfer completed to /.

Thanks Eric -- that consideration briefly crossed my mind but i dismissed it :oops:

And CatDude, thanks too for stepping in....i deserted the post last night in favour of my bed and i've been out all day today, so it's a relief to return to good news!

I'm as happy as you must be now, Sylvander :D
Thanks for uploading those....i can add a link on the site to the PETS directory now, which is:
http://www.puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/PETS/

Usual username of puppy and pawsword, linux is required for d/l.

Congratulations :)
Now, the question is,
did you add a Bookmark to save you typing it in again :?:

@ russoodle
No problem my dear.
