Ftp

For some reason I can't login to my FTP. I am using cuteFTP. I know that the username and password are correct. Does anyone know of another reason this might happen?

 

Sometimes you need to set it to passive mode (pasv).
Try either checking it or unchecking it depending on what it is now

 

It is a drop-down menu. I tried playing with the Data Connection Type, but still nothing.

 

Try using another ftp software and see if you're still getting the same login problem.

 

Are there any error messages when trying to connect?

Another possibility is that your ip was blocked by the ftp server.
This can happen sometimes if you're doing alot of uploading.
Usually there is an error message, like "too many connections"
If this is the case, you would need the host to reboot the ftp server

 

It gives me this message

1) Verify that the destination server name or IP address is correct
2) Verify that the connection port number is correct (under Site Settings | Type tab).
3) The remote server may be temporarily or permanently inaccessible (try again later).
4) Verify that you have chosen the right protocol (SSH2, SSL, FTP, etc.) and have setup all required options for that protocol.
5) Verify that the destination IP address and port numbers are correct.
6) The remote server may be refusing multiple connections from the same client. Try using only one connection thread when connecting to this particular server (Site Settings | Options).
7) Try pinging the address.
8) If you are using a router, verify the router is up and running (check by pinging it and then ping an address outside of the router).
9) Do a traceroute to the destination to verify all routers along the connection path are operational.
10) Verify that your subnet mask is setup properly.
11) Verify that your local software or hardware firewall is not blocking outbound connections originating from CuteFTP.
12) Verify that your anti-virus software is not at fault (try disabling it).

 

r u using any proxy server?

 

I would try using a different FTP program. If that doesn't work try contacting your host about it.

 

Sorry, I forgot about this post. Are you still having problems?
