I can't login to my FTP using FlashXP... But the website works fine as well as cPanel.. weird
If anyone has any idea about the issue, please post here,

I don't know if you have uploaded before with Flash but if you haven't try another FTP-program. If you have then it's maybe because the server has some problems today, like M^E already said in shoutbox.

Try using these different FTP clients.

www.CuteFTP.com
www.SmartFTP.com

Both very good programs. You can at least try them

No the put and get commands did not work for some odd reason I even tried to use the mput and mget but again they did not work.







I did try mulitple FTP programes and they all give me the same problem and messages like:

"An error occurred opening that folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder. The operation timed out."

"! Socket Error: operation timed out or aborted
~ Could not retrieve directory listing for "/"
~ Disconnected"

so on and so on... I do not think that the FTP program is the problem. This problem has been on going from 04-18-2005

I think that I have found a solution to this problem. I do not know if this will work for everyone but it worked for me... I was playing around with different settings in windows and one thing I did was disabled the firewall. After I disabled the firewall the FTP worked fine... I was able to upload and download files from the server using FTP. The problem was gone. So I guess that every time I want to use my FTP account I will then have to disable my firewall. I think that this solution is a little odd?

I have the same problem. I got hosted sinsce a few days and yesterday tried to acces ftp. It worked, but when i uploaded files, after a while it said the same as mentioned before. I use windows xp proffesional sp2 and i used smartFTP and FTP with IE. It didn't worked. And shuting down the firewall, dind't helped either. Are this server problems or is this my computer. (since this problem is not only mine i think it are server problems).

ftp.astahost.com
login: XXXX
senha: XXXX

no problems

Try using a different ftp client or the command prompt

I recommend FlashFXP why?
