Post #1by Alessandro » 04.04.2005, 21:09

Hi,

I would like to upload the
Celestia user's guide 1.3.2 in Italian,
but I m unable with FileZilla because I got a message 'Critical transfer error', and in the http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/ is not possible because the file is about 2.506 byte (>2.0 MB).

Some help on this please?

You should mention that you are writing about the Celestia Motherlode, otherwise some people may be confused...

Anyway, a file named "CelestiaUsersGuide1-3-2ita.doc" was uploaded, 2961408 Bytes. Can you check if this is the correct size? I'd recommend uploading all files packed as a ZIP file, because this allows us to check if the file was uploaded without errors.

Not sure what caused the "Critical transfer error", maybe your FTP program can't properly deal with FTP uploads to directories it can't read from. So the error may not have been critical at all...

Finally, could you (and everybody else who is going to upload files to the Celestia Motherlode) please add all the information we are asking for (what name to use on the site, should we publish e-mail address, license)?

Thanks,

Harald

I had that problem awhile ago when trying to upload the Lera System. I found that filezilla is probably not the best FTP program to use and that you should probably search around the internet and look for better ones if this critical transfer error becomes a regular problem when uploading.

Harry,

I think the size of the file is correct (will check at home I'm at work now).

I did not sent the informations requested as I was sure the file was not sent. I now post them on The Celestia Motherlode.
Just a question: were should I mention that I'm writing about Celestia Motherlode?

Thank you for your help and to Michael too.

Bye

In your first post... This forum is on the official Celestia website, and the Celestia Motherlode is separate from that. So if you post anything related to the Celestia Motherlode, you should add that to your post, otherwise some people may not know what you are writing about (most will guess correctly though).
