310538 2005-01-04 05:11:00 I regularly update a couple of web sites using (previously) RH9 and gFTP. All was going good until I upgraded to FC3. I am having problems with jpegs - they take forever to upload and arrive corrupted. I have checked the local files before upload - they are fine!

I am using binary passive mode (and have tried ASCII). I have uploaded to Paradise and Xtra - same effect.

I have just tried a command line upload of a file - again it took forever but it did eventually arrive uncorrupted - progress!! Image size is about 70k and I didn't time it but it must have taken close to 45 minutes.

I have also just sent an Open Office file with graphics of about 70k as an attachment - seems to be taking an abnormal time to upload too (browsing seems normal while all this is happening).

Rather than expecting a complicated diagnosis of the situation - my question is simple - is anyone else have trouble uploading with FC3?

Responses (understandably) are slow from ISP help desks at this time of the year.

Thanks

310540 2005-01-04 05:31:00 I just uploaded a 498 KB jpg via ftp to a website using KFTPGrabber and it took just under 20 seconds for the transfer, this is on a 192 Kb/s upstream connection using the default settings on the program. Jen (38)
310541 2005-01-04 05:47:00 OK but I suspect that might be a totally different situation compared to using a 56kbps modem from Timaru! johnd (85)
310542 2005-01-04 05:55:00 OK but I suspect that might be a totally different situation compared to using a 56kbps modem from Timaru!Yeah :p, but still differences aside, on a dialup connection it shouldn't take 45 mins for a 70K image. My test was more for seeing whether FC3 would take longer than expected to upload via ftp as my program is only a front-end to ftp, but it looks like you now think the problem is with Paradise?

310543 2005-01-04 06:10:00 True - thanks.

I seem to remember having the same problem a couple of years ago - spent ages trying to sort out what was wrong with my system (probably about Redhat7.3 at that stage) and it was Paradise upload (download was fine). Will wait and see - will hopefully sort itself out in time!

310544 2005-01-05 08:44:00 The plot thickens!

I have just grabbed some time on the family PC (WinXP Home) and uploaded some files as fast as (the same files I was having trouble with).

My system worked great as RH9 - with FC3 uploading is as slow as - but for what reason? Any ideas?

310545 2005-01-05 10:16:00 It has been suggested to me to turn off IPv6 - but have already done so. johnd (85)
310546 2005-01-06 08:31:00 Have come to a dead end on this one at the moment! Any ideas I can follow up would be greatly appreciated! johnd (85)
310547 2005-01-06 08:59:00 Hmm ... bit of a puzzle. It must be a configuration issue somewhere. Have you tried turning off the firewall (long shot here!) - system-config-securitylevel.

I noticed you did an upgrade from Red Hat 9 all the way to Fedora Core 3 in one hit? This will involve some large system changes, so often a fresh install is the best course of action and might solve your problem.
