Server denied you to change to the given directory - withIntermediateDirectories:YES about connectionkit HOT 11 CLOSED

Hello, can you implement your delegate to gather the full transcript and post that here too, please? That should give some more idea why it's failing.

Sorry I couldn't post a cleaner log - is this what you wanted?

Well that's pretty odd. It looks like some of the transcript is out-of-order (might well be my fault, not sure I'm properly dispatching it to the delegate).

So I take that to show that the blog directory doesn't exist, whereupon the operation fails. Which is odd, since libcurl is supposed to at least try creating it at that point. I'll have a play to see if there's anything obviously wrong in our code for that.

from connectionkit.

Thank you - let me know if you need any other information.

from connectionkit.

I did a bit of research, maybe it's because of active vs passive ftp connections. Can I flip the switch on this on a higher level?

from connectionkit.

That sounds unlikely to me. No data connection has even been attempted at this point. libcurl supports both active and passive, but I'm only interested in supporting passive in ConnectionKit.

I found my error - I was trying to get contentsOfDirectoryAtURL before uploading to verify the credentials. Sorry about that. Is there a standard method for checking credentials somewhere?

from connectionkit.

There is not; just go ahead and try the upload. If the credentials are incorrect, it will fail accordingly.

from connectionkit.

I've stopped using a global queue for transcript messages now, so they should always arrive in-order. Thanks for bringing that to light.

from connectionkit.

I guess one other thing: The delegates that are called from within the completion handler are not called on the main thread - is this standard behaviour?

from connectionkit.

Yes. Completion handlers and delegate methods are performed on arbitrary threads/queues. It is your app's responsibility to bounce over to another thread if desired.

There's a note about the delegate methods in the headers already, but I'll update the docs to be a little clearer.
