Yummy FTP not uploading some files, causing parse errors

  • Yummy FTP not uploading some files, causing parse errors

    Posted 14 years 1 day ago
    • Hi, I use yummy ftp for uploading Rocket Theme templates.

      I do this with the Rocket Launcher, unzipped folder. Every time I do it, it misses some files (fails to upload random folders and files).

      Yes, I have done a recent update for yummy ftp but I wanted to know if this is a conflict that other rocketheme users are having. Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve the issue?
      Most of the files that fail to upload are "admin" files so I have to go back to the original RT folder and upload the specific file (thankfully the joomla/rocket theme error page tells me which file couldn't be found).

      Typical error messages are:
      Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/username/public_html/administrator/components/com_media/views/medialist/tmpl/thumbs_img.php on line 16

      In advance, thanks for any advice or suggestions.

    • Your the first to report such an error with this FTP client.

      I'd suggest trying a different client such as FileZilla, or better yet, uploading the zipped Rocket Launcher and extracting on your server, which would completely eliminate and missing or corrupt files, or permission changes.

    • Thanks Jem,

      I didn't realize that you could unzip a zipped file once it is on the server. I thought it had to be unzipped first? Any secrets on how to unzip the file once it is on the server? Surely it isn't a simple double-click like it is on my desktop?

      This will obviously make it quicker to upload in the first place (unzipped rocket launcher files currently take more than 2 hours to upload with yummy ftp!).

    • Should be just as simple as unzipping on your desktop.

      Go you your host's CP > File Manager

    • You could do it via commandline too. I think it's tar -zxvf templatename.tgz if you are on Linux or *BSD.
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
