*** SOLVED *** Problem when publishing from ver 15.2.2

[Pablo]

Sorry, but I need more information.
For me, the publishing work the same as in previous version. I have tested on 5 different servers. Including FTP, Secure FTP, FTPS.

[WWBman]

Pablo, did you try my test project including an image as background?
Doing a full publish
Then moving the text object
Then publishing changes causes the error to appear every time.

Then if I change the background to solid the error doesn’t occur.

Same problem here after updating to 15.2.2:

Went back to 15.2.0 and everything works fine again. Looks like an FTP problem in 15.2.2.

I agree with "italiastyle" I tested some projects i had for version 14 and went back... No problem.
With my limited technical skill it seams obvious that it has something to do with the publishing tool.

Pablo, did you try my test project including an image as background?

Yes, I have tried everything I could think of, including the project that Bluesman has sent me.
For me, it always works. Tested on 5 different FTP servers of different webhosts.
But I think it's related to the type of server.

I need more information about the server configuration so I can create an incidental test environment.

Hi Pablo. I will email the FTP login for one of my clients account that having this issue. You can create subfolders in the root for testing... hope that will help.

[Pablo]

Thanks for sending the FTP test account.
However, this also seems to work for me.

Which version of Windows do you have?

Also, I have added extra logging to the software. Can you please download the updated version and try again?

[pregip]

I downloaded, installed, tried to upload to FTP and the problem persists.
I have 64bit version, Win10

[WWBman]

I've installed the 'logging' version.
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.
The full publish always works.
The modified files publish fails.

@WWBman
Which FTP engine did you select?
Did you set the log level to 'all'?

Is it possible for you to create a test account and demo project for me?

[WWBman]

@WWBman

Yes, I'll send you the details.
Default FTP in wwb.
I'm still just using the test project from:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nscqyrdkv ... _.zip/file

Email sent to info

[Pablo]

I meant are you using winsock or wininet? Tools->Options->Publish->FTP Engine
Does it make a difference if you select the other option?

[WWBman]

Ah, I am using Wininet.
When I change it to Winsock the publish works.

Aha! so it seems to be related to wininet, I use winsock myself.
Can you please download the latest build to see if now also works with wininet?

[pregip]

I switched to Winsock and it also works! Great! Thank you!

[WWBman]

Aha! so it seems to be related to wininet, I use winsock myself.

Yes, that now works using Wininet.
I thought Wininet was the default when wwb is initially installed?

[Pablo]

Yes, wininet is still the default for standard FTP . However, in WB15 winsock is faster and supports more types of servers. And the logging is more detailed.
Also, most web hosts have switched to secure FTP, in which case winsock will be used because wininet does not support secure FTP.
Anyway, I'm glad we have found a solution! Thanks!

[WWBman]

OK, thanks Pablo.

Just woke up here in Ecuador... "Buenos dias Maestro" Thanks Pablo for solving this issue. Shall install the latest build amediately

[Bluesman]

Yust to answer your question earlier in middle of the night Windows 10, ver: 2004. (OS-version 1904.1)
Is there anything I shall change in Windows... or just update WWB?

Switched to Winsock and did a full publish. WORKS AS A CHARM!!!

[Pablo]

Is there anything I shall change in Windows... or just update WWB?

If you download the latest build (12/29/2019) then now wininet should also work again.

[Bluesman]

Yes, did that also of cause... but as you wrote earlier "Winsock" is a better alternative, safer and faster with WWB 15. So in most cases I suppose this is the best alternative?

[Pablo]

So in most cases I suppose this is the best alternative?

Yes.
