Uploading folders fails

[jfingas]

CyberDuck 4.0 introduced an arbitrary limitation where it only allows one file to be sent at a time through drag-and-drop, at least in Mac OS X 10.6.6. This must be fixed to restore multi-file drag-and-drop, since it's a serious step backwards for the entire client.

Hotfix in r8506.

[jfingas]

Not fixed. Issue is that the client will not allow dragging and dropping more than one file at a time and has nothing to do, at all, with folders.

No error message.

Can you give the exact steps to follow to replicate the issue.

[jfingas]

It's pretty simple. Any attempt to group select more than one file and drag it into the main file directory window for an upload will only transfer one of the files, usually the first one that was selected. It doesn't matter which files, how many of them are being uploaded, or where they are located on the uploader's computer. These are all small files as well (usually a few dozen kilobytes).

I cannot replicate this issue. Can you find any related output in the system.log (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app)? Also, please post the transcript from the log drawer of the Transfers window.

There doesn't appear to be any smoking gun evidence. Here's the only system.log entries from today (multi-file uploads have been attempted hours later):

Mar 10 06:46:34 Macintosh-2 /Applications/Cyberduck.app/Contents/MacOS/Cyberduck[31091]: MDS Error: unable to create user DBs in /var/folders/Ta/TaI-f+MFHMyIfB+NbzFPJU+++TI/-Caches-//mds

And for reference, the transcript from the transfer log drawer. Note: it only shows the one file being accepted for a transfer despite dragging two files, so clearly the app doesn't seem to know there's even another file being dragged in.

I am not able to send any folder unless it is zipped even with the transfer button. one file like a Jpeg image works fine.

I tried with FireFtp and no problem.

is it a permission problem or something else?

all the best.

ftp erreur 553 could not create a file
