I went ahead and signed up (and thank you for your kind welcome to the forum). Rather than having things be a mess while my DNS transfers, I decided to get the most-used portions of my site up here on TCH before switching my DNS from my old host (so my old stuff would at least still be available until I was finished).
Everything's going great so far, except I'm having some problems with losing FTP connection fairly easily -- ie when I'm uploading more than maybe 10 files, I'll get timeout errors that look like this:
for some of my files, which then will not transfer. Other files continue to transfer just fine. After all the other files transfer successfully, my ftp program appears to try to resume transfer (I assume, may be wrong...), at which point I get this:
I've done 1-4. The rest either I cannot do, or don't apply to me.
It's sort of annoying to have to go back and pick out the files that got an error and re-upload those, since they're interspersed throughout the queue. I had a lot of photos to upload, so it took more time than I planned on.
I'm not sure if this is just because I'm using the temporary FTP connection (by IP address of the server I'm on rather than by my domain) or if it's a regular issue? Is it on my end? I didn't have this problem at all while uploading/downloading a large amount of files to/from my old server (even today). I'm using CuteFTP 6.0, if that's at all relevant, I don't have any sort of firewall running, I don't go through a proxy.
Or is it user error?
Thanks.
