The strangest thing... I had several PSD files in a subdirectory. Any of the files over 5 megs would not upload to my FTP or website server. As soon as an upload began, the FTP program would disconnect. Used both CuteFTP and Filezilla. (passive mode was active.) Files smaller than 5 meg would upload. Files anywhere else on the computer would also upload no matter what size.
I even moved the PSD files to a different directory - they would not upload. I moved then to a different computer... They would not upload.
Finally I ZIP'd them and they did upload...
Any idea what was going on????
Keep in mind, all other files, PSD and otherwise, no matter what the size would upload fine... I'm baffled....????

| Could be a glitch in the sever that day, or try using http://smartftp.com otherwise there should be no problem with updating, unless it is a glitch. Ive had kinda same sort of problem happen to me awhile ago. I jsut tryed the next day and ever thing worked fine... |

that bizarre. I would guess that it might be a setting on your webserver somewhere . . . maybe it's trying to tranfer them as ASCII instead of binary because it doesn't know what a PSD is, or something.

I was on the line with the server tech support folks for a very long time on several occasions. They could find nothing wrong with their servers. I tried uploading to two different servers... same problem with both. I 99.99% sure it was not a server problem.
As far as not knowing about the PSD file... other PSD files from the same computer would upload with no problem...

No... I haven't messed with any webserver settings... Keep in mind, There is just one set of PSD files that do not upload... As I'm working on a picture, I save with incrementing numbers in the filename. It is one of these sets of files (about 6 of them) that will not upload. All other PSD files upload fine... so there must be something in those files... I thought there may be a disk problem, but I've moved the files to a completely different computer and they still don't upload...
I hate being baffled like this!!!
Seth... BTW.... why would there be specific PSD file settings on my server???

Why dont you resave the psd as a whole new one with a different name then see if you can upload that, if it does jsut rename it on your webserver...
Heh, i was just blubbering sorry.... "Seth... BTW.... why would there be specific PSD file settings on my server???" |

OK... I am now able to recreate the situation with PSD files... Here's how it works... forget what I've written earlier...
I created a file with a number of layers and removed a couple at a time until the PSD file would upload. It started to upload sporadically when it had only 6 layers. At less than 6 layers it uploaded fine. At 8 layers, it would not upload at all.
The 8 layer file was 22 megs. So I reduced it to see if size made a differnce. I reduced it to 600 x 800 pixels at 1.8 megs. It would still not upload.
I reduced it to 100 x 133 pixels at 83 Kb. It would still not upload. I combined three layers in the 100 x 133 pixel file so there were only 5 layers.... and it uploaded fine....
What is going on here?????? It sure seems like the number of layers is causing the problem... But why?

| Damn man thats wacked! I just tryed it with my server i had no problems uploading with any of them size, number of layers, etc... It has to be a server problem for that to happen. I would think! Did you try smartFTP by chance it is free and simple to use. See if you can upload them with that... |

have u tried giving the files a different extension and then changing it once its uploaded?
very strange occurance - have to say not having uploaded any photoshop files i can't give any other advice 
have to say good choice in ftp phil 
cuteftp and fireftp are the ones i use 
thought: what file name are you using for the files?
what OS is the server you're using running? |
