What a headache
by Matt on Jul.24, 2009, under Uncategorized
So, I logged into my WordPress to find that there was a new version available. Neat. Since I can’t unzip remotely on my hosting, I couldn’t do the autoupdate and had to download the update, unzip it and upload every single file and directory one-by-one. The first time I did this was when I first set up WordPress here, and I didn’t have a problem (except finding out about the little unzipping problem). But tonight proved to drive me further into insanity.
I fired up FileZilla and queued up all the files like normal, and it went smoothly at first. Probably at the final 200 or so files though, some of the transfers were reaching 100%, but they ultimately failed. Whatever, reset it and re-queue them up. I had to do this a handful of times until two files remained left. After about a half hour, those things just kept doing the same thing over and over, reaching 100% but with the transfer failing. What the crap? Reset, requeue. Reset, requeue. Lather, rinse, repeat. Argh!
So then I opened up Windows Explorer to connect to my FTP server. The transfers worked without a hitch.
Way to drop the ball, FileZilla.
