Diffirent hosting companies use slightly diffirent setup for ftp connections, you can try various setting one of them will work.For example if your domain is www.muztagh.com you can try:www.muztagh.commuztagh.comftp.muztagh.comor the ip address as the ftp address.One of above will work eventualy.

Unable To Connect To Ftp Address. - can't resolve host name

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:
QUOTE
[13:29:05]Resolving host name "ftp.mediyama.astahost.com"
[13:29:05] Unable to resolve host name.
[13:29:05] Active Help: http://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://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.

Please check that your hosting is completely activated here.

I followed your advice , xboxrulz. The page says that there is no problem with my account configuration, yet I still can't access the FTP.

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

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.

Maybe a slight modification of the host name would help? For example ftp://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.

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.

Alright, I'll use FileZilla from now on. It works! This problem is officially solved.

Nice to see if works. cool.gif
May I suggest you to try FileZilla ftp client (http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ ), it worked with all the sites I saw till now.
I also was never able to put smartftp at work, and I'm not confused with that, I simply use FileZilla everywhere.

Concerning Windows Internet Explorer, didn't you mistype or forget something ? Remember that in Internet Explorer the URL you have to type is :
ftp:yourname@yourname.astahost.com
You will see a box appearing asking for you password, so if you have pop-up blockers this box will not appear. Also, sometimes, this box is under another open window, so be careful not to have too many open windows hiding your password in-box.
However, i'm glad you have a working solution, at least can start your real work, the other details will be solved with time and patience.

At last, I got it working. Thanks everyone who wanted to help me get it. Part of the problem wasn't my mistake though rolleyes.gif

Thank you very much! It works now! It only works in Win Explorer though, not in SmartFTP.
