Just went to do a simple page upload today, to a site I’ve updated countless times before - but now I get “Cannot complete upload because could not initialize CURL” [-26398:625:1214]
Which as you imagine, has me baffled… Any ideas for a solution / fix?
Have you restarted your Mac lately? Might be time. Freeway uses cURL under the hood to do its FTP and SFTP upload, so maybe your system has gotten confused about where things are, or ran out of process descriptors or something equally geeky. A complete restart should clear that up. Also, if you haven’t done so lately, you might want to open up Disk Utility and run the Repair Permissions dingus. It shouldn’t be an issue here, but you never know, and it cannot hurt.

I’ve tried CURL from the command line (to the site I’m having problems uploading with FWPro and it works fine…)
Ironically, I just came to this bit in the essay I’m reading right now, and had to laugh:
Not a single living person knows how everything in your five-year-old MacBook actually works. Why do we tell you to turn it off and on again? Because we don’t have the slightest clue what’s wrong with it, and it’s really easy to induce coma in computers and have their built-in team of automatic doctors try to figure it out for us. The only reason coders’ computers work better than non-coders’ computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don’t beat them when they’re bad.
You should read this, it’s excellent. It will give you something to do while Disk Utility is grinding away…

Have you tried to reproduce this problem with a new blank document, and no other documents open at the same time? Also, try creating a new user on your Mac, log in as that user, and see if you can upload in a new document as that user. I have never seen or heard of this error, but there’s something specific going wrong there, and these steps may help you find a direction to point the finger.
