Uploading zip doesnt work? (Monsta & FTP)

urls

my website → chickencoop.rf.gd
monsta → filemanager.ai/new
ftp → ftpupload.net

problem

I tried uploading zip of my website’s contents into Monsta (file manager), and it finished loading but then just closed the popup and i dont see my zip in htdocs. Tried like 3 times.
Then I tried using ftp command line on my computer to ftp the zip into htdocs, and it said completed upload but i dont see it in Monsta still. What is going on? Thanks

Did you read this?

Also the online file manager doesn’t do well with extracting zip files. You’ll want to unzip the file on your own computer, and then upload the contents into your site using FileZilla.

Is your ZIP file bigger than 10 MB? Then it will be discarded automatically by the server.

If the zip file contains source code for your website, please extract it on your computer and upload the extracted directory.

If the zip file is supposed to be downloadable, please just upload it to a file sharing site and link to there from your website.

Yes it is ~26mb. So what do i do now then? Is the total website storage 10mbs or is that just a single file limit

This:

Given the above, it’s the size limit for single files. You can also clearly see on our website that the disk space is 5 GB per account, not 10 MB.

Okay. Isn’t there an ftp limit though so after some files it will not work anymore?

No. There is an inode limit of 59,400, but that’s the total number of files and/or directories you have. As long as you stay under that (and under the total 5GB limit for your hosting account) you can upload new files over FTP just fine.

Okay! The whole tab kind of froze though because ihave like 5000 files. I tried uploading just one smaller folder and it gave me that ftp error

And says the upload failed 404. even though it is showing a progression

Tried uploading 25 files and it is stuck on the 24th

The online file manger tends to be unstable and throw that error randomly sometimes, especially when doing large uploads. Like I said earlier, you should use FileZilla over FTP instead.

I heard that filezilla bundles adware, is this true? should i use winscp instead

The installer doesn’t include anything that isn’t optional, though you can get a version of it that doesn’t have any offers from this page.
If you’re still worried however, yes WinSCP works just fine too. Virtually any desktop FTP client that supports FTPS will do the job.

Yeah so initially when i was still uploading as zip i was using built in command line ftp, but you cant do that with folders recursively right

I just discovered you can just press OK and then cancel current upload (since it will be done already) and then it keeps going, so im going to keep trying it. If it doesnt work ill use FZ

Not with the one built into Windows, but that’s part of why I use Filezilla, as it’s capable of doing just that

try now using the ‘upload a zip file’ option in the file manager.

Hello, @ifastnet ! It has been a while since you have posted here, welcome back!

I noticed that you definitely changed some things in your File Manager, which looks nice. The only thing I would like changed for accessibility reasons is the highlight color when a File/Folder is selected. Is is dark blue, which then make the dark text very hard to see for me (and maybe the others).

I can confirm that the ability to upload and extract ZIP files is working as intended again. I can also confirm that uploading a folder works as intended also. However, uploading individual files still does not work, with the following unskippable error being displayed:

This occurs when uploading an 8 KB file with the .PHP extension.

The browser I use with your file manager is FireFox, if such matters. I will try this on Chrome also, when I have the chance to do so.

Thank you for taking the time to repair the file manager.

Hello, @ifastnet ! I am glad to say that this is now working, everything is working as intended. I am now able to upload the 8kb file individually without the FTP quota error. Thank you.

For the 8kb .php file in question, this file was from a JriMail test-run, which had been expanded to be the 8kb size (when I would usually notice issues uploading files with the file manager.)

(This file was only meant to be filler/tester, so the file won’t work unless you edit it.)

If you wish to view the contents of the file, here it is:
woindex.php (8.0 KB)

Again, Thank you for taking the time to repair the file manager.
