beat my head…
¶ by Rob FrieselCURRENTLY AGGRAVATING: Blogger and FuitadNet, not playing nice.
What I don’t get: My Blogger account can connect to the FuitadNet server just fine and dump my posts etc. up there w/ no difficulty. Clean and easy every time (and over SFTP no less). However, for whatever reason, A’s account refuses to connect over FTP or SFTP. She says that she’d post more often but that the frequency of these errors (see also “every time she tried to post something”) have caused a level of frustration unsuitable for even one with a high tolerance for that sort of thing. Take the following examples:
Post attempts over FTP yield:
001 java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out on file:archive/2004_08_01_archive.html
…vs…
Post attempts over SFTP yield:
005 Unable to connect to SFTP server: Auth fail
Now the first error suggested to me a permissions problem w/r/t/ being able to create new files in the archive tree. OK, that’s annoying but hardly the end of the world. Unfortunately, similar time-out errors were occuring when trying to “republish index only”. Now, since I’ve had no problems publishing over SFTP, I tried to just switch them (knowing that this was unlikely to yield the results I wanted as I would probably need to request that the account be given SFTP perms). Sure enough, it didn’t work and so I assumed (correctly?) that it just wasn’t set up for this sort of access. OK… But if that’s the case, why am I getting these responses out of FuitadNet tech support:
Greetings,
Your FTP user amy@founddrama.net is already enable SFTP access; Please let us know what exactly you want please brief.
Regards,
Support Team.

I really want this to make sense… So why doesn’t it?
UPDATE: For folks just now joining the discussion (Sept. 14, 2005) – – I never did come to any thrilling conclusions. It just sort of started working. For one thing, the systems seem to talk better using SFTP over FTP. But after a little while I stopped getting the errors. Blogger fixed? FuitadNet fixed? Just don’t know…
