FTP problems with your host.

[JamesD]

any ideas as to how I can solve this then?

Try using an FTP client to connect to the server.
If the FTP client can't connect then it could be your host, ISP, firewall or router.

Try disabling your firewall and rebooting your router and if still not working try an FTP client on another computer elsewhere (friends?) which is on another ISP and router.

I had this or something very similar couple of weeks back, I had renewed my anti virus etc and the new firewall settings that were the cause,

[JamesD]

my windows firewall is turned off & I don't currently have antivirus so I wouldn't have thought these have anything to do with it.

Have you tried an FTP client and rebooted your router?

Have you tried an FTP client and rebooted your router?

Tried using filezilla, i get this message

Response: 220 FTP server ready
Command: USER morgans
Response: 331 Password required for morgans
Command: PASS *************
Response: 530 Login failed. Perhaps your FTP access isn't unlocked? Check your control panel or contact support for more information.

Then you need to check that FTP account on your hosting, either through your control panel or by giving them a call. Looks like the password may have been reset perhaps.

Hi, It did publish ok this morning at 8am. I did change FTP times all to the max 60000 and set it to retry so this may have helped.

With FileZilla it connects fine though!

With Actinic it does not! Its one of those things that really pisses you off!!

Its not like ive even touched the darn settings!
