WS_FTP?

Caithion · August 17th, 2006, 11:23 PM

I suppose I'm technically not a beginner, as I've been with Surpass for a few years now, but this is a beginner level question, I think. Just yesterday my WS_FTP program stopped being able to connect with my server. I've never had a problem with it before, and the settings were all saved, so I wonder if something changed on the server end?

I can still manage my files through CPanel, but uploading individually is rather tedious.

Something you might try is toggling passive mode in the FTP settings. (I think that was the setting to change). Sometimes the ftp used on the server is changed, and that needs to be toggled.

You can also try another FTP client, such as FileZilla: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

True, GeniusKnight.

You can do this in WS_FTP on the Advanced settings tab for your connection.

That certainly did the trick! Thank you very much!
