Uploading to on-rev

Post by tbalazs » Wed Nov 25, 2009 11:48 am

Folders are uploaded without their contents. Is this normal?
Thanks,
Tony.

Hi Tony,

I don't know whether onRev specifically allows for uploading entire folders, but most FTP applications/servers don't allow uploading folders. So, yes, this might be normal. Yet, there might be an option available in you FTP software that allows for recursively uploading folders, which should work with any server.

Best,

Mark

Filezilla loads folders and their contents to on-rev without problems.

Do you mean "normal for onRev" or "normal that recursive uploading is not an option" here? :lol:

The onRev server will accept upload by "normal" FTP client without problem (for ease just make sure to set the default root path). The onRev editor/debugger/client is rather limited in its FTP operation though. To my knowledge, you can't even select multiple files to be uploaded in a batch, let alone a whole folder/recursive folders.

So for "bulk" uploads it's a third-party FTP client to do the job, and for development testing and debugging, it's a case of working on one file, editing, saving and uploading to debug and review, and then moving onto another single file to edit/debug/upload/test.
