Rom Uploads

TheStrayMongrel

Just curious what the deal is with the progress bar turning red and failing on the Rom upload withing the Rom Manager? Seems to only happen with lager ROMs, typically over a mb. Its not a lack of space thing. Is it a connection thing? Yet to get anything that little bit larger to upload. Couldnt find anything in the FAQ.

Thanks

UPDATE. Just hovered over the ROM and it says "Server responded with 0 code"

I just tested with Firefox, IE, and Chrome. All 3 were able to upload both with drag 'n drop and dialogue box (test file was 25.2MB) without any problems. I'll ask Shea about the 'Server responded with 0 code', is there any other info that you can give me about what is going on? What is the extension of the file that you are trying to upload?

TheStrayMongrel

Hmm okay. Zip files all the way. I wonder if the connection drops and then the upload fails. I have had some larger files work and not others. The progress bar turns red and never progress, so essentially hanging.

Im using Firefox on a Macbook Pro BTW.

hmm... is your pi on a wireless or wired connection?

TheStrayMongrel

Yeah wireless.

That might be the source of your problems, but I'm not really sure. you may try just using an ftp client. they are more forgiving when it comes to transferring files.

TheStrayMongrel

Okay cool will do. Is there a thread outlining the settings for using within the FTP client, host, username and password and port? (sorry if this should be obvious). Using FileZilla btw.

mholgatem

host is your pi's ip address, username: pi, password: raspberry, you don't need to set the port. If the port is empty, it'll just use the default port.

TheStrayMongrel

Brilliant, thanks.

mholgatem

no problem!

TheStrayMongrel

Oh wow, that is sooo much better. Definitely the way to go.

Howdy, Stranger!
