Subject: FTP upload error
I am attempting to create a blog from scratch
(www.weareallscrewed.com). I currently own the domain name through
GoDaddy, and I am hosting the site on my personal server at my home.
when I attempt to publish a post, I get the following errors:

You blog published with errors

/2007_11_01_archive.html String Index out of range: -27
/index.html String index out of range: -27

...you get the point. all the files that Blogger is attempting to
create have the same error

HOWEVER....the folders themselves are created (i.e. archives, labels)
that the files are intended to be in, but not the actual files.

In checking my FTP log files, I can see Blogger accessing my site and
making a connection (as evidenced by the folder creation). I've
created a login name strictly for that that has full access, and I am
able to access the site via an FTP client using the same login
information

Any ideas? I'm usually good at this troubleshooting, but I'm stumped.

I'm having troubles with FTP publishing too: I get ethe "Your publish
is taking longer than expected. To continue waiting for it to finish,
click here" message all the time, but some of the times they get
proprerly published anyway. Some times they don't. I've been a FTP
publisher for more than 3 years now and I must say that this is an
area where Blogger is and always has been getting worse. I now have
problems publishing most of my posts and I think Blogger should pay
some attention to this.

Add me to that list of troubled FTP publishers-- "Taking longer than
expected"  When I click on "Display transfer details" it's done some
work, uploaded 9 files, but those are all labels that should not have
been affected by the post.

What's going on!

Please fix it!

Same here.  I have been a Blogger for a year, publishing via FTP to
http://www.svsoggypaws.com/blog/
It has previously worked flawlessly.

I haven't published in about a week.  Today it is hit or miss (mostly
miss).  When I am publishing interactively, or uploading photos, I get
the response "Your publish is taking longer than expected. To continue
waiting for it to finish, click here."

I checked my publish settings in the Blogger control panel.
I checked that a normal FTP logon works fine.

I cannot upload photos (well, one got done).  And I cannot publish
updates (well, once half of it worked then stopped at 32%).  Several
email posts never got uploaded either (though they are available in in
the console when I log onto Blogger).

I have tried using both IE (6.0) and Firefox (2.0.0.8 AND absolute
latest version).

What's up guys???

This is what I'm seeing this in my FTP logs:

multiple successful transfers and then:

Nov  5 19:37:07 lyra ftpd[11256]: MKD cycling
Nov  5 19:37:07 lyra ftpd[11256]: MKD cycling/labels
Nov  5 19:37:07 lyra ftpd[11256]: PASV
Nov  5 19:37:07 lyra ftpd[11256]: STOR cycling/labels/hills.html
Nov  5 19:37:07 lyra ftpd[11256]: QUIT
Nov  5 19:37:07 lyra ftpd[11256]: FTP session closed

After 12-15 files, blogger issues a QUIT command, and then sits there
waiting for the transfer to continue.

By the look of the timestamps, this appears to be a recent problem.

I have been using Blogger for 4 years and I have not had a problem so
annoying as this.

"Your publish is taking longer than expected. To continue waiting for
it to finish,  click here."

No clue as to a possible fix. No way of updating my blog. Just the
same old nonsense error message over and over. Please tell me how to
transfer my blog elsewhere..

I"ve been unable to publish my Classic Blogger blog via FTP to my own
web host for the past 12-14 hours.  Like others here, I'm getting the
"Your publish is taking longer than expected. To continue waiting for
it to finish, click here" message everytime.  I've confirmed several
times over the past few hours that I can transfer to & from my hosted
space via WS_FTP Pro software, so this is NOT an issue with my host.

I've been a FTP publisher for more than 5 years and this just keeps
getting spottier and spottier.  This has got to be remedied!

I have checked my ftp as well and it is fine. As I only just joined
last week it is not an issue for me to transfer to WordPress or
something like that, if this doesn't get remedied soon.

Same thing here... For a bit more than 24 hours. Right now, I'm
attempting to Publish my Weblog and all I'm getting is the "Your
publish is taking longer than expected..." message.

What's going on ?

There's nothing about this issue in Blogger Status.

Same issue here,

I´ve being using blogger for publishing several blogs that, togheter,
compose my website. The site i used to update everyday.
Now, every time i hit publish i have to pray, because the "Your
publication is taking more than expected" always is there, waiting to
piss me.
I´m publishing to FTP as everybody here. I don´t know how this info is
useful but i´m still using the old blogger (wich shouldn´t be a
problem at all)

Please solve this! Additionally i´m having problems uploading images!

Same exact trouble here. Wish Blogger would put an explanation on the
Status page.

Other ways of FTP-ing to my site work fine.

Exactly the same issue as below. Been trying all freaking day! Can
only get a few changes up, the rest of the time it just hangs.

This happens way too often.

Thanks to everyone for reporting these issues and I apologize for the
inevitable frustration that comes from publishing issues. It seems
that we're experiencing a server-related error, which we're quickly
working to resolve. Please keep an eye on this thread I pinned, for an

Did you ever find a solution to the: String index out of range: -27
issue?

I have that problem now and just can't see anyway round it.
