STEX Upload Problem

    I appear to be having a bit of trouble uploading to the STEX. Every time I try to upload a file, it comes back with something like "There was an error uploading the file. Please contact an administrator." I have tried with both Firefox and IE to the same effect.

    I was wondering if anyone could help with this?

    Best,

    Why does one drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

    Why is delivery by boat called a cargo and one by land called a shipment?

    Are you uploading a lot or a BAT? Either should be .zip files, and should contain only the necessary data.

    It is a normal zip folder (not a rar or anything like that), which only contains a readme and a folder containing all of the plugin files. I have uploaded two other things in exactly this way and had no problems, so really I'm at a loss :???: .

    it can't be any larger than 20MB. There might be something structurally wrong with it. Hiccups happen. Try remaking it. Make sure there is no junk like .sav files in it. And try it in off hours, say about 0500 Zulu.

    I tried creating the zip file in WinRar and strangely it worked, although for some reason it refused to accept zip files (even though they uploaded without issue) created with Windows 7, and even though I've used them before :???: .

    Anyway I suppose this can be closed now.
