Weird Contribute Bug?

[Law808]

Hello to all Contribute experts and fanatics alike!

Seems like a lot of folks are having issues with publishing using Contribute.
As the connection to the web server seems to have a bug, and from experience
I always have my connection getting cut off, and having to reconnect again.

For some reason I'm able to publish to my web server, but
I'm unable to publish to my folders on my web server. Anyone
know why?

For example, I make a copy of a new page -- click Publish > Choose Folder> --
I pick the specific folder I want to publish it to -- click Select
(destination folder) --
a screen pops up saying "Waiting for Server" -- Then it all freezes, and I
have to shut it down.

Anyone know why? Your reply is great appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know if this is a stupid idea and I haven't had this problem yet, but
are these folders perhaps not writable.

There are so many servers and server-configurations out there... Maybe you
could try to fire up a ftp-program (filezilla is free) and chmod these folders
to make them writeable and see what happens.

Also you could check the user-role settings and make sure that there aren't
any complecations in the way folder-access is configured there.

grtz.
