shadyDW Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Today I bought a new hosting package and I am now ready to upload files to my new site. When I try to upload, why do I get a prompt stating that? "An FTP error occured - cannot make connection to host. The remote host cannot be found." Do I need to wait for DNS propogation? Quote
LisaJill Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 You can use the ip/~username to get there before propogation. =) Quote
shadyDW Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 I tried that and my site didn't come up. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 If the IP isnt working either then you may want to submit a ticket with what you are experiencing and see what they may suggest. Those options should have worked. Quote

LisaJill Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Yes that's right, Now you just need to upload your site. =) Quote
shadyDW Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 Still getting an error message and I'm sure everything is fine over here. Quote
LisaJill Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 What error are you getting now? It looks like you did get logged in from your last post. Quote
shadyDW Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 I have not been able to upload from dreamweaver to my public_html folder. It is not making any connection to the host. All my other sites are uploading perfectly fine. It says remote host cannot be found. I may just have to submit a ticket. Quote
borfast Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) I don't think a ticket will solve your problem, because if you can login from one program but not from another, then that's a problem on your end. Do you have any firewall running? If it's a firewall that blocks applications, it may be blocking Dreamweaver... By the way, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum, for organization.

shadyDW Posted September 11, 2004 Author Posted September 11, 2004 I find that I am able to view the site from http://66.36.231.135/~wraploc/. Could my main problem be that it has not yet fully propagated? Quote
borfast Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 If you cannot view the site by accessing your domain but you can view it on that URL you posted, then yes, it could be that DNS changes have not yet propagated. If it's still down after 48 hours of registering the domain and pointing it to TCH, then it means something is wrong with the domain configuration. But it's probably just a matter of waiting a few more hours and it will be available Quote
shadyDW Posted September 11, 2004 Author Posted September 11, 2004 I find that I can only upload files using the hostname 66.36.231.135 instead of the actual domain name for ftp connection. Please tell me why? Quote
shadyDW Posted September 11, 2004 Author Posted September 11, 2004 Go figure! Everything seems to be working perfectly fine now. Thanks for all your help guys. Rock Sign Quote
borfast Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 (edited) I think you missed my previous post. As I explained and you suggested yourself, it was probably the DNS changes that hadn't yet fully propagated. Once they were updated on the DNS server you have your computer set to use, you were able to access the domain Edited September 11, 2004 by TCH-Raul Quote
