Need wad file uploading help

[Deertag]

I'm having a problem trying to upload a Doom2 wad file to the idgames site and was hoping someone here can help me.

Initially, I used a program called FileZilla. I typed in the following info across the top.
Host: archives.gamers.org
username: anonymous
password: my email address here
Port: 21

Under Local site, I clicked thru the directory tree on my PC until I highlighted the file containing my zip

Under filename, I clicked on my zip file

On the right side of the screen, I did this:

I clicked on Pub then idgames in the Remote Site box, then in the Filename box below, I clicked on incoming.

The entire operation was a fail and this is what I got:

I've been going thru this for 2 days now and I can't figure it out. I don't have any experience and don't know anyone who does. So I'm turning to the Dooming community for help in the hopes someone can help me understand this stuff and get it working.

Thanks much.

Have you tried restarting your router/network adapter? Hopefully you have a dynamic IP (Im sure most people do these days) and you'll get a new IP address and can try again.

[Deertag]

Thanks for your reply. I tried what you suggested but no go. What I did tho was to go to the FileZilla help page and did some things they suggested there and I finally got the message my file successfully transferred.

I don't see them on idgames last 24 hours file, but it might be to late in the day to show up. I'll wait until tomorrow and see if they show up. Man, this has been a nightmare. lol Thanks again for trying to help

What were the names of your files?

There are several places to look to see what has happened to uploads:
ftp://ftp.gamers.org/pub/idgames/incoming/
http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames/REJECTS
http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames/LAST.24hours

I'm guessing the problem was that FileZilla's default settings were to create multiple connections, and you solved this by telling it to make just one connection. But if FileZilla isn't working for you, you can try to DOS prompt method described here (item 5).

I was having this same problem. I know nothing about code and stuff like this so I kinda gave up. How do you kick Filezilla in the balls and make it stop saying there is already a user from xxx IP adress?

The master server doesn't like multiple connections - which happens to be FileZilla's default setting. If you've created a Site Manager entry for the archives, click on the "Transfer Settings" tab and limit the number of simultaneous connections to one - otherwise, call up the "Transfers" page in Settings and under "Concurrent transfers" set Maximum simultaneous transfers to one.

Hope this helps.

Filezilla 3.x stupidly requires using a separate connection for uploading and downloading. I have never figured out how to turn this off. I've stuck with 2.3.32 for a long time; it works, but it is no longer supported by the development team.

[xvertigox]

Good info from Greyghost and Bloodshedder - I wonder if this is a common problem? This could possibly be worth noting in some sort of faq or thread?

[Reisal]

You might want to try using WS FTP LE version 6, it is simple and easy to use for uploading since I use it so I am not bogged down with a bloated FTP client.

[GreyGhost]

I was doing quite nicely with an ftp client called miFiles (now defunct) until it ceased acknowledging my registration details, that left me with few options apart from coming to grips with FileZilla's settings.

[darkreaver]

Geeks.

I just google "online ftp" and use the first hit. Could it be any easier?

[GreyGhost]

Might be OK for anonymous ftp but I wouldn't use a random online service with password protected accounts - colour me paranoid.

True that.

There's also a Win32 native build of NcFTP somewhere, which is pretty straightforward and has nice filename tab-completion, bookmarks, etc.

Eh, well I guess it's not hard to find:
http://www.ncftp.com/

Watch out though, you need a FTP client to download this FTP client. ;) j/k your web browser should be able to manage.

Btw, I like the "bgget" example they give:

You can do it with recent filezilla versions by simply setting up your queue then disconnecting from the server. Then telling filezilla to run the queue.

I seem to get that but after a few tries it works..

This works beautifully, thanks.
