Description Jan Eglinger 2011-09-15 10:22:25 CDT 
I had an ssh repository which used to work for up- and downloading a while ago.
When I try to upload a new file (a .txt macro in macros/toolsets in my case), the updater reports "Updated successfully. Please restart Fiji!", but the files in the repository did not change. It still contains the files that were uploaded some months ago, and I can download them via the updater in any other instance of Fiji, but the newly "uploaded" files aren't even written.

Might this have to do with the recent inclusion of sftp in addition to ssh?

I also tried to remove and re-add the upload site in the updater, but no success.

I may add that the updater doesn't even ask for a login name and password when trying to upload a file to the repository.
(When setting up a new repository, it does ask, and writing of a new db.xml.gz works well.)

After flagging a file for upload in the updater, are you clicking the "Upload to server" button? I think if you click "Apply changes" it just does the updates and not the uploads.

Oops, you're right. I must have clicked the wrong button all the time (didn't use this function for a while). Sorry for the invalid bug.

Then I might turn this into a feature request:
When marking something for upload, but no file to download, deactivate the "Apply changes" button, or at least make "Upload to server" the default button with focus. :)

Yes, intuitively, I was wondering why "Apply changes" does not also perform the uploads. In other words, why have an "Upload to server" button at all? But there may be a good reason for it, I'm not sure.
