Unable To Resolve Host Name Using Ftp. Help!

Recommended Posts

I am using SmartFTP but it will not connect to the site here. I am using my username and password. This is what it keeps saying:

 

Resolving host name "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;

[16:52:49] Unable to resolve host name.

[16:52:49] Active Help: https://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/81

[16:52:49] Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...

 

What am I doing wrong here?

How new is your account? It takes time to propagate domain names.Look in the tutorial Forum for a Mod to your HOSTS file to speed up the linking. You will need to have the Xisto IP address to alter the HOST look-up.

The above In red is where you are going wrong.

It should read 
"ftp.itek.trap17.com"

With having ftp.itek.trap17.com, The FTP client is looking for a ftp site under the subdomain "ftp.itek.trap17.com"

Hope this helps
