Hello,

I'm having an FTP-problem.

I'm trying to upload the files after scanning the site but I keep getting the error 'Check that this folder exists on the server' (Invalid FTP upload path)
I copied & pasted the full path, so it's not possible that I've typed an error.

I'm trying to upload the files on the same server as where Zoom is installed. I typed the IP address as the FTP-server (tried also 'ftp.domain.extension' and 'localhost); the port is 21.

Can anyone help me out with this one ?

Thanks in advance !!

What is the path that you entered? Note that this needs to be a FTP absolute or relative path, that is the physical location of the file stored on the server, rather than a HTTP path.

For example, a website may have the URL of:
http://www.mysite.com/search/
but its file path location on the server may actually be:
/Inetpub/wwwroot/mysite/search/

This would depend on your host and your web server configuration.

Another note - since you are running Zoom on the server hosting the website (ie: localhost), you probably don't need to use FTP. You could simply set your Output directory to be the relevant local folder where the files are to be hosted (eg. "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\search\").
