Vintage Lover Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I was told by the vendor that I need to ftp the files from my desktop rather than unzip and extract in cPanel. There are a ton of files! any better way to do this than file by file using the cPanel file upload? Thanks. Sandra Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Yes. You can use any kind of FTP program for this. Three that comes to mind is Core FTP CuteFTP Fire FTP (Extension to firefox) Quote
TCH-Don Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I would like to know why you can't upload the zip file and extract? That is the most efficient way. What cart is it? The desktop is not a good place to put files. Quote
Vintage Lover Posted April 22, 2006 Author Posted April 22, 2006 I'm not sure why it won't extract, but I tried it and it won't extract. I've extracted files before, and this time it won't work. The cart is CKgold. i contacted them about the extraction problem and they said I need to save it to the desktop and FTP the files. This is just the trial version. Wonder if that has something to do with it. I use Firefox as my browser now. I'll try their FTP software. Sandra Quote
Vintage Lover Posted April 22, 2006 Author Posted April 22, 2006 This is the message I got when I tried to extract: CartKeeperGoldv1.0e.zip File Type: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 That message occurs when a zip file is not recognized on the server. I've seen this message myself before. When I do, I extract the archive on my PC and then Zip it back up using WinZip and upload it to the server. I've never had a problem doing it this way. Quote
TCH-Don Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I generally extract to a folder of the same name I want to use on the server then make my edits and zip up the folder. Upload to public_html and extract so the folder structure is kept intact. The desktop is a folder in windows and not a safe place to keep files. Quote
Vintage Lover Posted April 22, 2006 Author Posted April 22, 2006 Well I downloaded a nifty lttle FTP program for Mac users (me) called Fetch and it worked like a charm. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Ah, I should have mentioned Fetch in the list. Sorry. Glad you got it working though. Quote
TCH-JimE Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Glad its all working. *TCH-JimE is really really glad that TCH-Don can't see his desktop! Quote
