Transfer Error! There was a problem connecting to the target server...
I was getting the error below when transferring a media folder to a server running IIS 7 using Umbraco 4.5.2 and Courier 1.3. The error is related to the file size upload limit set in IIS... The resolution is to set the file size upload limit in IIS7. (previously discussed here for other issues) I know I am answering my own post but hopefully this will help someone else out.
From a command line go to:
cd %windir%\system32\inetsrv
Then run the following command where sitename is the name of your site in IIS7 and size in bytes is the max size (
appcmd.exe set config "sitename"-section:requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:size in bytes-commitpath:apphost
Transfer Error!
There was a problem connecting to the target server 'www.ctg.com'.
How to solve
This error occured because Umbraco Courier on this server was unable to communicate with the target server. Please check that:
The url for the target server is correct: 'www.ctg.com'
That Umbraco Courier is installed on the target server as well
That this server are able to reach and communicate with 'www.ctg.com' via HTTP, port 80 (you might need to consult a network admin to verify)
Settings for Courier can be changed in the file /umbraco/plugins/UmbracoCourier/Settings/courier.config
