I can't reliably upload files.

[holdengreen]

I'm trying to use the webui to upload batches of files into a folder/directory but that fails red X's.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a folder.
2. Click on '+Import'
3. Pick 'File'
4. Select multiple files and confirm

Expected behavior
I expect that the files will take a short time to upload to the server and I should receive visual confirmation.

Firefox console output:

Error: Promised response from onMessage listener went out of scope chrome.js:92:30

And I'm getting some weirder and maybe more useful output in Chrome.

Desktop

• OS: Manjaro Linux, kernel 5.10
• Browser Firefox
• Version 94

Additional context

I'm using a remote web server and forwarding the ports '5001', '8080' (which isn't working correctly), '3000' and '4001' to my laptop.

The daemon is running on a 500GB Storage VPS from Time4VPS and it's running Debian 9 with an ancient 2.6.32 kernel on OpenVZ 6.

If this isn't a good place I can post on discuss.ipfs.io

I'm likely doing something wrong

@holdengreen Thanks for the detailed information about your remote server and daemon.

You say that you're forwarding ports, but you say "(which isn't working correctly)." Can you clarify what you mean by this? Also, I see CORS errors in the output. Did you follow the instructions at https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui#configure-ipfs-api-cors-headers ?

Also: what is the URL you use in your browser to load the webui itself?

• http://127.0.0.1:5001/webui ? (ℹ️ this one should not require CORS, as you load safelisted version from API port)
• https://webui.ipfs.io or http://webui.ipfs.io.ipns.localhost:8080 ? (ℹ️ this one requires CORS setup because of different origin than port :5001)

[holdengreen]

I remember only needing to forward the web port, yes I go to http://127.0.0.1:5001/webui.
I'll get back to this.
