Bruce- Thanks for the patience. In summary: FTP is overwriting fine now. If the problem returns- check to see if the owner name on the files has changed. In any case- can be fixed only by help desk. OK- happy coding...

Bruce- Thanks for the assistance and explanations. (pause in the thread- needed some sleep ) Help desk did finally fix the overwriting problem (though without explaining what was wrong and how fixed). Did I understand correctly that setting the owner name is not under my control, so if this recurs I have no solution other than another help ticket? I see that there is a Unix command: CHOWN is this what we are talking about? Is this something not to mess with? Thank you,

OK- I sent them that. Could you please explain the meaning of "changing file ownership"? Is this connected with reading/writing permission? And if it worked till today- how did it suddenly change?

For those who are following the continuing saga- help desk changed my password, which did not change anything

OK I just tried again- new files I can upload, just existing files [overwriting] I cannot. file attribute is 644 If I ask enough questions- will I understand this in the end?

Finally got a response from help desk- they want to reset my password. Will try that as well...

retried traceroute- 10 hops in 34ms sounds ok to me here is the FTP log: Status: Connected Response: REST STREAM Response: SIZE Response: AUTH TLS Response: PBSZ Response: PROT Response: 211 End Status: Connected Status: Starting upload of xxxxxxx Response: 250 CWD command successful Command: PWDResponse: 200 PORT command successful Command: STOR Response: 550 10.html: Overwrite permission denied Error: Upload failed Does this tell us anything?

Thanks for the speedy replies! Don- I don't think the problem is on my end- since mu FTP works to upload to other sites [servers on other hosts] without problems Bruce- traceroute- I get 10 hops till server 83 with one time out in the middle. Does this tell me something?

Greetings- I have been waiting 2 hours for a reply to my help ticket (to be fair- I made the mistake of rating its importance as: medium), so I thought I'd ask if you have some advice in the meantime: I have been unable to upload by FTP to my site [for the last 2 hours- for months uploads worked without a hitch]. The only error message I get (using Filezilla) is: "critical transfer error" in the queue, login works ok, remote directory is displayed- but the fill does not upload. File manager on cpanel works, but I have several hundred files to upload. Any advice appreciated!

Samantha's work is elegant. For a simpler approach- this is what I put together from your suggestions: http://www.tsel.org/goof Thanks for your assistance, Nablusi

Thank you Don, and all the others- I think I have all the pieces of the puzzle now- just have to connect them. Nablusi

Samantha- That is a very nicely designed page- good idea that it gives incentive to report by providing additional links. Bruce- Good point about the pitfalls of automation- good to have a forum of people with experience! Now that you've all answered the serious questions- I'm left looking for the address of the sendmail function to place in the form. In the CP is says that the path is: I pasted it in place of but it doesn't work ;-( [i don't have a working form on the site to copy from.] Thank you, Nablusi

Thank you boxturt! Form looks good and works- just that I am apparently lacking the right string for sendmail. I tried adding: but that's not it :-( "mailto" works, but triggers a security warning. Any suggestion? Thank you, Nablusi

Thanks Bruce, Sounds useful to me- I have been using a simple mailto link, but people send them without citing the url they were looking for. If you have the source for the script, I would be happy to see it. I know, but its not realtime, and it doesn't give me an oppurtunity to give feedback to the visitor who got lost ;-) Thanks, Nablusi

Thanks Ron- I am a reseller, so support answered me: Buying a certificate for just one logo graphic doesn't sound like a reasonable solution. Any other suggestions? Thank you, Nablusi

Greetings- I made a custom 404 error page on the CP, but would like to receive realtime notification of broken links as well. Ideally would be an e-mail that includes the faulty url. I can use the html tag to make the url display on the page- how can I get it included in an e-mail? Thank you, Nablusi

newbie question: I am building a custom payment page on paypal, and would like to use my own logo image. I do not have ssl [and don't need it, since the payments all go through paypal], but I need a place to store the logo on a https server. Any suggestions? Thank you, Nablusi

I need the forum password as well. Thank you, Nablusi
