Transfer map

[Deltakon]

I hope this thread is in the right category.

I have a Macbook, I am trying to transfer a folder with files in it to my server but when I try to do that my computer opens the folder and in the folder there is another folder and opens that folder as well until all the files are visible. A bit complicated to explain but I need to upload the whole folder and not one file at a time when the computer opens. Do you know what I can do to transfer the whole folder easily?

Sometimes easy tasks don't work. My blind guess is that you try to transfer a folder from one Finder window to another Finder window through a FTP connection and that you should use a FTP client like Cyberduck instead to get this done.

Maybe we can find out how to solve this. Can you give us some more details:

• Are you talking about a local web server on another Mac or on the same Macbook or about a remote web server you are trying to transferring to?
• How are you exactly connecting to the server (SMB, AFP, FTP etc.)?
• How are you exactly transferring the files (Finder drag'n'drop, FTP client, rsync, git, etc.)?
• Do you know if there are symlinks or hardlinks in the source folder?
• Do you know what are the file privileges in the source and destination folder (user, group, etc)?
