Error importing .zip file to photo album

    Hi,

    I have been using the WP Photo Album Plus plugin version 6.4.06 to display photos on my site for the past few weeks. Typically I FTP a .zip file to the ‘depot-admin’ folder as instructed and from there use the ‘Import’ button in WordPress to extract the files and upload them into albums/galleries as needed. I have used this process for literally thousands of photos, no problem.

    Then yesterday, I tried the exact same process and received the following message:

    Failed to extract /home/quickpix/public_html/wp-content/wppa-depot/admin/Cadets_12.zip

    Done processing files.

    No files to import.

    And yes, I double-checked the .zip file and the files ARE in there! Any suggestions what is causing this?

    Thanks.

    I can think of 2 possibilities:

    1. There is an error in the file (corruption)
    2. The file is too big.

    If you want me to examine the zipfile, you can mail it to me. opajaap at opajaap dot nl

    Thanks Jacob!

    I think I have found the culprit. The FTP transfer is timing out before the transfer has finished, but instead of giving an error it is saying the transfer is complete when actually it isn’t complete! I suspect that is what is corrupting the file…

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction ??
