Working with Flash projects

Troubleshooting remote folder setup for Flash projects

A web server can be configured in many ways. The following information can help you resolve some common issues in setting up a remote folder for version control:

• The Flash FTP implementation may not work properly with certain proxy servers, multilevel firewalls, and other forms of indirect server access. If you have problems with FTP access, ask your local system administrator for help.
• In some applications, you can connect to any remote directory, then navigate through the remote file system to find the directory you want. However, for the Flash FTP implementation, you must connect to the remote system’s root folder. Be sure to indicate the remote system’s root folder as the host directory.
• If you have problems connecting, and you’ve specified the host directory using a single slash (/), you might need to specify a relative path between the directory you are connecting to and the remote root folder. For example, if the remote root folder is a higher-level directory, you may need to specify a ../../ for the host directory.
• Filenames and folder names that contain spaces and special characters often cause problems when transferred to a remote site. Use underscores in place of spaces, and avoid special characters wherever possible, especially colons, slashes, periods, and apostrophes.
• If problems persist, try uploading with an external FTP program to determine if the problem is specific to using FTP in Flash.
