The joy of errors: 426 Failure writing network stream

I was FTPing files in order to tinker around with installing ImageMagick on my server. Doing a build from source was not particularly successful, so I decided to see if the RPM installer would give some more joy. In the process of attempting to upload the RPM file onto the server, the FTP process got really snippy.

And then it started kicking out: '426 Failure writing network stream'.

I restarted the server and the error went away, until I tried to upload that same RPM file. So, I figured, OK, something is making the FTP process gag. So, I restarted the FTP process and all was well. Of course, I'm a dumbass, so I tried FTPing the RPM again. After all, we all know that servers ignore you twice just to make sure you're serious about uploading the file.

Welcome!

Wonder where to start with your web design business?

This blog follows along with my efforts to build and grow a website design business, Pro Content and Design.

The goal of this blog is to fill in blanks that may be empty as you get your business rolling.

This blog, particularly the source code section, is not intended for beginners. If you are not comfortable with databases, Ajax, DOM objects and other advanced methods, I strongly suggest you go take a look over at W3 Schools before even reading -- let alone tinkering with -- any of the code here.

I hope this blog has some value to web designers as they attempt to get their businesses going.

Good luck, and happy reading.

Thank you,
