FTP Help! by welshboy222 on 06-28-2006 at 08:22 PM
Hi I have a Ftp client and i'm stuck at connecting it says I have to put in a host address do I put ftp at the start like ftp.your-games.teaspoondiner.net or something like that or do I put an ip address?
Also I have deluxeftp.

It doesn't need to be an IP address.
I just tried connecting to "ftp.your-games.teaspoondiner.net" and I got a login prompt, so it seems to work...
RE: FTP Help! by welshboy222 on 06-28-2006 at 08:28 PM
I have my user name and password I put it in along with host address but it doesn't work.
This is what happened.....

Screenshot of connection settings? So we can see if you've messed anything up accidentally.

Right what does host address mean on a ftp client?
RE: FTP Help! by zach on 06-29-2006 at 06:44 AM
Host:teaspoondiner.net

rofl, oops, sorry, I just remembered that you e-mailed me man 
The host address should be set to teaspoondiner.net
user name and password are then as you asked for... I DID send you all this in the original e-mail i sent you when I set up your account
RE: FTP Help! by welshboy222 on 06-29-2006 at 03:22 PM
I use deluxeftp and in host address I put teaspoondiner.net. I have used the correct username and password you gave me and it won't connect.

They don't work this is really hard!
RE: FTP Help! by zach on 06-30-2006 at 04:09 AM
The server is playing up so maybe that is your problem.
Try it now, I just got in.
Host: teaspoondiner.net Port:21
Servertype: FTP
Logon: Normal - username -password
RE: FTP Help! by welshboy222 on 06-30-2006 at 04:13 AM
what did you put as the host address as I have tried ftp.teaspoondiner.net and teaspoondiner.net.
RE: FTP Help! by zach on 06-30-2006 at 04:25 AM
As I said before, teaspoondiner.net. It sounds like you are doing everything right so it must be a server problem.
RE: FTP Help! by lordy on 06-30-2006 at 05:19 AM

so why does loading that in firefox give me a login prompt?
RE: FTP Help! by lordy on 06-30-2006 at 08:14 AM
because that's just a way to view the folders on your account =/ you can't upload anything or do anything like that from there
