BANS Store & CuteFTP Problems HELP!!!

Ok, been reading about the bans stores and such so I bought the software. Now im trying to do everything they tell me so I DL the trial version of CuteFTP....so far so good....then I just simply try to connect and I keep getting this error.

STATUS:> [1/6/2008 8:17:56 AM] Getting listing ""...
STATUS:> [1/6/2008 8:17:56 AM] Resolving host name XXXX.info...
STATUS:> [1/6/2008 8:17:56 AM] Host name XXXX.info resolved: ip = 00.00.000.000.
STATUS:> [1/6/2008 8:17:56 AM] Connecting to FTP server... xxxx.info:21 (ip = 00.00.000.000)...

ERROR:> [1/6/2008 8:18:17 AM] Can't read from control socket. Socket error = #10054.

NOTE: I changed the ip and domain name for security

I tried all 3 types of connection
Using global Settings
Use Port
use PASV

I even turned off my firewall and tried all 3 as well and when the firewallis off it tells me to check the connnection etc...

I want to use cute as its what they (bans) use but is it my computer set up of cuteftp? I went on there (cuteftp) site and users had the same problems but when they tried diffrent settings it worked for them.

Im a big dummy and dont know shi* about ftp so is there something easier to use? What do you BAN newbies and pros use as a ftp.

PLEASE HELP!

 

I have the same problem sometimes.
Maybe you can try another ftp client?
Give filezilla a try,it's free.

 

Thanx for th ehelp. Im rellay trying to fix it first as BANS uses the cuteftp in the instructions and i dont want to go off the instructions and get lost.....Does anyone else have other suggestions to this problem?

Thanx richie...I read that to on their forum...my problem is I cant connect at all...so it dont matter if I hold down anything LOL.....i tried to connect using the port as stated in my post. Not sure if its my router thats changing info but this sucks...I might have to use a diffrent FTP client I just hope its as simple as CUTEftp and the instuction slisted.

 

What OS are you running? Vista?

 

No i have Windows Xp Media Edition

 

I use smartFTP it's free and I like it better than any other programs

 

Is it easy and straight forward? I need a basic almost "talk to me like a baby" ftp client to use.

 

hey Domainseller:

SmartFTP is easy to use, I believe it function like ' talk to you like a baby'.

Just google the name and give it a try.
