can't upload files using webDAV
hi guys. i have a bit of a frustrating problem. im trying to upload zip file (~50MB) to a file hosting site (in.solit.us specifically) and i'm using webDAV to do so. i have no problem connecting to and mounting the server, but whenever i try and add anything to the dav disk it give me the error:
"you cannot copy some of the items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination."
i freaking hate this error message, whenever i get it it is so unwarranted. my zip file is titled "one.zip"... so no the name isn't too long or any such thing. the compressed files inside this zip file are also of similar length and composition. when i try and upload anything, even a smaller (regularly named) doc file, finder gives me the same error. what's more, when i try and create a new folder within the dav drive the "new folder" icon pops up for a few seconds then immediately disappears. which is kind of funny because when i then try and create another new folder it names it "new folder 2" -- which then subsequently disappeared as well. last time something like this happened to me it was a problem with the disk automatically ejecting itself after a couple of seconds. this does not seem to be the case here, console reads:
"Feb 11 18:55:45 localhost webdavd[1641]: /Volumes/dav mounted"
and then, when i manually eject it:
"Feb 11 19:15:17 localhost webdavd[1641]: /Volumes/dav unmounted"
console does not lie.
any help would be much appreciated 🙂
