Downloads via Remote Desktop
« on: October 06, 2016, 07:55:55 PM »
One of our in-house dezingers uploaded4 large ZIP'd files to HighTail. SOP...normally not a real problem.
I get SMS around brekky time fr manager saying he's (via remote Desktop fr home), downloaded em into a folder where we access such jobs on their office server..

I get in to work..try to unZIP em, showing 'corrupted/can't open'.
He tries same thing (he's on a Windows machine in the office). Same result.

I go back down and re-download from links on her original emails. All goes swimmingly. She's on a Mac. I'm on a Mac.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Bear in mind he'll be terribly defensive and invoke the Shaggy defense if I imply it may be his route causing it.

That kind of indicates there was a problem with the upload to Hightail. Like maybe they closed the browser before they were completely uploaded. I have seen people do this before. Have them to upload again and make sure they get done.

Or wait a minute...when you say "I go back down and re-download from links on her original emails. All goes swimmingly. She's on a Mac. I'm on a Mac." that after you re-downloaded them they unzip fine? If that is the case it's all on the manager.

Yeah, my usual cryptic there Joe. Shoulda said... I successfully (re)downloaded her original upload.

I suspect there's a remote desktop/PC glitch happening.  He'll have none of it, of course.   :drunk3:

Yup, It's a faulty carbon unit.

I used to have a designer that would upload to the FTP and every singe time it would be corrupt. I sent nuts trying to troubleshoot it. Turned out she'd upload right at the end of the day then shut her computer off, not allowing it to upload. It took me a few months to figure that one out. Never underestimate idiots.

I haven't had work from her in a while. Do you have a customer that told you "I have no idea what I'm going at all. I only know the basics but people pay me so I don't care." I've never wanted to reach through the phone and choke the life out of someone so much. You can guess what kind of dream ALL her files were.

Actually yes, I have some very good customers and a few that are a bit too much. I'm a bit anal when it comes to file prep but some of my customers will stress on something really minor, then forget to proofread the damn thing.
