  • FTP error

    Hello,

    I'm having an FTP-problem.

    I'm trying to upload the files after scanning the site but I keep getting the error 'Check that this folder exists on the server' (Invalid FTP upload path)
    I copied & pasted the full path, so it's not possible that I've typed an error.

    I'm trying to upload the files on the same server as where Zoom is installed. I typed the IP address as the FTP-server (tried also 'ftp.domain.extension' and 'localhost); the port is 21.

    Can anyone help me out with this one ?

    Thanks in advance !!

    What is the path that you entered? Note that this needs to be a FTP absolute or relative path, that is the physical location of the file stored on the server, rather than a HTTP path.

    For example, a website may have the URL of:
    http://www.mysite.com/search/
    but its file path location on the server may actually be:
    /Inetpub/wwwroot/mysite/search/

    This would depend on your host and your web server configuration.

    Another note - since you are running Zoom on the server hosting the website (ie: localhost), you probably don't need to use FTP. You could simply set your Output directory to be the relevant local folder where the files are to be hosted (eg. "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\search\").
