Unable To Connect To Ftp Address. cant resolve host name

Recommended Posts

I have just signed up a few minutes ago, but when I try to get into my FTP, this is the error that I get:

 


[13:29:05]Resolving host name "ftp.mediyama.astahost.com" [13:29:05] Unable to resolve host name. [13:29:05] Active Help: www.smartftp.com/support/kb/index.php/81/ [13:29:05] Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...


 

 

Any way to solve this?

 

I have no idea what could be wrong, I logged in with these details: Host name: ftp.mediyama.astahost.com

 

User: mediyama Until then I'll use the file manager in the Cpanel..

I've tried using nslookup on the host name you specified, but my DNS server says it "can't find ftp.mediyama.astahost.com: Non-existent domain".I don't have a problem on my subdomain though.astahost subdomains should be working right away, so you will probably need to wait until Monday to get help from the admins.

If you are using EI7 than you need to go to internet options and then go to the advanced tab, then scroll down to Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility) make sure this is checked. Also you may want to change the your Security setting to med-low

Maybe a slight modification of the host name would help? For example mediyama.astahost.com


Tried that too, still does not work. The same thing happens. The only thing I don't understand is that the cpanel ftp does work.

I don't use IE for my FTP, the web-based FTP in the Cpanel does work, but I can't access it using SmartFTP. I have no firewall set.

You may still need to change the setting, most programs use the IE configuration files.I do now the most browsers are easy to use with ftp, including IE7.
I know i have no firewall on my system its self, but i still have to use this setting because of my host.

I have had a horde of problems with FTP as well.  yourdomain.TLD username: CP Username Password: CP Password Make sure those are set. That the Port is TCP-21 and that anonymous IS OFF. That's all I can say other than look through the support category. There is ONE (only ONE) good thread on this that is VERY helpful.

Thanks, I'll try it out.

I suggest just using Windows Explorer to attempt an access to your FTP account. Else, I have to elevate this issue to the admins.

Nope, still says the same as it did before. I don't think it's my computer anyway, since my previous ftp hosts all worked.
