Takes so long to upload

[Rhanna]

I am very impressed with the publishing of WD6. In particular when just making a few changes to an already published site. With the tab, 're-publish changed files only,' ticked, it is lightning fast!! It is a marked improvement on the previous version.
Thanks to the creation crew!

It appears I am having a problem with the incremental uploading. I made a slight change to one page of a large site (about 40MB), and when uploading it appears to be uploading the entire site again. See screenshot of my ftp program screen showing date/time. I double checked that the checkbox to only upload changed files was checked, and it is. The upload is progressing at 33% and 4 minutes so far. It worked fine yesterday, only thing I did was to close the program and re-open it today. Anyone have any other suggestions to look at? I'll test it again when this upload finishes (at 41%) without closing WD6. I did look at the site and it appears like the old version 5 where WD6 has renumbered my files during export and I have to refresh the page to see the correct files in the correct places.

How about post #23 ?

covoxer,
Yes, it's re-exported over the old version. I have a folder for every website I do. In the folder is another folder called "export". I export into that folder which only contains the index_htm_files folder and the *.htm pages. It's now just finished uploading, so I tried it again. The first (long) upload asked me for a location to export to, and it was exported to the original location (I just looked). The second time I made one small change and it didn't ask for a location and only uploaded the changed files (several seconds).

But, even though it uploaded the entire site (slowly) the first time, only some files were actually changed. I think the misplaced files were possibly from the scripts being changed in export?
