can't rename....

[Karen]

Why, oh why, does it seem that EVERYTIME I try to publish even the smallest
mpg video to my site, it goes along for a while and then I get the message,
"Can't rename 'filename.mpg.tmp'" and it stops? I am publishing using http
in FP2003. Other files publish just fine. I am embedding the video with
window media player add-on for FP. Sometimes, I let it convert the files to
wma, sometimes I leave them as mpg. Does anyone know what to do to fix
this?

Have you checked with your host to see if they have a file size or type limitation on your account?

I checked with them (comcast) a long time ago when this first started
happening and they said it was not their problem but a problem with
frontpage. Then another guy told me it meant there was not enough room for
the files. Strange this is that if I keep trying, it will EVENTUALLY go
through. I mean it takes days and days of trying for it to be accepted.
Never happens with anything but video.

That really sound like a hosting problem.

I agree. Guess I will try my luck with comcast again. Thanks.
