Error: Cannot read \\Desktop\file.php

[Gracjan]

Hello,

From today I've got a strange problem.
When I'm trying to copy a file to my FTP I receive error message: Error: Cannot read \\location\file.php.

I'll do this without any problems before.
Restarted TC / PC nothing helps.

Thank you for your help in advance.

What is this \\location? Sounds like a virtual folder. TC cannot upload from virtual folders to ftp because you can't read directly from objects in virtual folders.

No, it's just an example name of folder (path to my documents).
So it's a standard location. Not virtual.

It's happened when I download small .php file from server, edited it, upload back and receive this error.

Try to enable: "Use passive mode for transfers (like A WWW browser)", in the setup for the connection.

Yep, it helps.
I hope.

Thanks so much .

Ok,
I think this is a kind of bug because I got this error again and I had to back to Filezilla again to transfer files to FTP.

http://i.imgur.com/gC7M4rI.png -> \\Desktop is a virtual folder combining the content of the all users desktop an your personal desktop!

The virtual folder that represents the Windows desktop, the root of the namespace.

Try to upload from your personal desktop cd %$DESKTOP% (or cd C:\Users\<YourLoginName>\Desktop).

Now I see that @ghisler and you are right about this.

So "\\" mean virtual desktop.... uff.

Thanks for clarifying
