Fritz "Can't upload" to publish a tournament
I have no problem connecting to foscec.org via FTP or SFTP and uploading files, so you can see this: http://www.foscec.org/. However, both Fritz 12 and Deep Fritz 14 experience the same difficulty on two different machines when they try to publish a tournament. They report "Can't upload" when the "Test" button is clicked. If this message is ignored and a tournament is run, zero-size files are created: http://www.foscec.org/test/. Has anyone encountered this pesky technical problem before?

Re: Fritz "Can't upload" to publish a tournament
The test tournament is now broadcasting. The problem was very peculiar.
0. Many hours of time were spent trying to fix the problem on the server end. This is not where it was. The server was set up fine (4 times or so, in slightly different ways) to handle both active and passive FTP connections.
1. When I unchecked PASV in CoreFTP, CoreFTP took me to Windows Firewall to let it through, even though it didn't need such a permission before. From that, I deduced that Fritz uses active FTP, and not passive FTP like the programs that worked okay (WinSCP, CoreFTP with PASV on). No wonder: Fritz is old-fashioned.
2. However when I tried to follow the instructions at http://support.lexisnexis.com/us_en_us/ ... leID=10093 to add Fritz 12 to the list, Windows told me that Fritz 12 was already on the list. But I didn't see it there. Instead, I noticed "Chess Program 12".
3. Once I removed "Chess Program 12", I was able to add "Fritz 12" and set permissions correctly to let it communicate with the FTP server via the Windows Firewall.
