Thanks Geoff, I hadn't thought to give the rsync option a try. I'll need to refresh myself on how to set it up since I haven't used it in a long time, but good idea.
It's still very strange to me that some of the products I'm trying to upload are still getting through every once in awhile. If 1and1 deprecated a core functionality, then you would think it would be all of nothing, and not partially working intermittently. Who knows.... Anyway, thanks for the tip. I'll report back if successful.
