Uploads not working from Macintosh clients

We are currently evaluating this product as a web front end for our home directory file shares and so far its working great. However, we have discovered one problem affecting Mac clients. When a Mac client attempts to upload one or more files, it (usually, at least) fails. I've seen a couple of different failures:

- usually, we see 'Error occurred' in the Status of the upload dialog with zero elapsed time and 0% transferred
- sometimes, we see 100% transferred before getting 'Error occurred'... no file is uploaded

We've tested with both Firefox and Safari. I am suspicious of Flash on the Macintosh being the problem as I understand that the upload tool is written in flash. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

Hi Nathan,
Actually the control supports two upload methods: Browser and Flash

You can be sure if the problem is related to flash method on Macs by forcing the browser method:

fileVistaControl.UploadMethod = UploadMethod.Browser;

Let me know what happens with this method.

Yes, if I force it to use 'browser' uploads it seems to be working.

Thanks.
