midnightvamp 1 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 I don't know how much help I can be... but when I connect I do it in Dreamweaver, and it connects to my ftp fine.These are my settings:FTP Host: ftp.yoursitenamehere.trap17.comThe login and password use the same thing as it takes for me to log into cpanel.Also, 'use passive FTP' is checked, but I'm not too sure what that means, or what it does. Just thought I'd mention it.Hope that helps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirea 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 I'm not an expert when it comes to FTP, but on my first host that required FTP,I couldn't sign in because the password WAS IN CAPITALS LIKE THIS. I'm not sure if that's the case here, but it doesn't hurt to try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

switch 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 yeah... actually, from memory I had a similar problem earlier on... I think the easiest solution is just to try some other FTP Software that's easy to use. Try FTP Commander. It's brilliant. The website is http://www.internet-soft.com/. Also, you might just want to make sure that you can access any FTP sites at all. Try ftp.microsoft.com for example. Lastly, just double check that any firewall software you have installed isn't blocking either your FTP software or the ports it's trying to use. You'd probably be able to check the FTP port in use in an Options section of the program (I'm not sure though as I don't have the same software as you). Good Luck.

shigajet 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 FTP Commander works quite well for me, and it automatically connects me to the FTP site before I transfer files. I guess the only drawback my be that if I forget my password, it may become a big problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
