Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

A bit of a change of topic.
I have a WEB server that I built some years ago and never really used, however I am now designing a page for a small club I belong to. I have a folder containing a number of files on my computer, when I use the FTP in windows I can log in OK. If I type
"put index.html" the file transfers but that is the only file that will. When I try any other file in the same folder I get a response of 'file not found'
Any answers I've searched everywhere.
Paul.

Need some more info Paul.

Are you FTPing to a Windows or Linux or Other server? Linux servers can be a pain, they are case sensitive. You can have both index.html and Index.html in the same folder, and the ftp client gets confused.

Speaking of ftp client, what about using a full blown ftp client like FileZilla? Makes the whole process much easier.

Even better, get Total Commander.

I built the WIB from Silicon Chip, so it is connected to my router. I can undo the case and take out the memory card and upload files that way, but it is easier to use FTP.
Tried FileZilla and had problems will try Total Commander.

Some silly things to check. When you run ftp, have you made sure that you are in the directory that you want to send files from? Have you tried using the full path name of the file you are trying to send? When you run !dir can you see the files you want to send. !dir issues the dir command to your local directory.
Do you have spaces in your file names?
