CaptainCrunk Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I get this message everytime I try to connect with my ftp account: An FTP error occured- cannot make connection to host. The remote host cannot be found. What should I do??? I forgot the information I have to fill out but I did. I dont know if its wrong or if something else is wrong. I am using marcomedia dreamweaver.

abinidi Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Back in my Dreamweaver days, I think I remember that the error message you get is pretty specific. So, if your username and password are wrong, it will tell you that. Since the error says it can't make a connection to the host, my guess is (1) you have typed in the informaiton incorrectly for your FTP location/info or (2) you have some type of firewall that is blocking FTP connections. I think you should first check your FTP information in the Site settings area. If you are sure that is correct, then you should check to see if it is a firewall issue.

CaptainCrunk Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Thanks for the quick reply. Nothing to do with the firewall. I checked, but before I used TCH I was witha different hosting company and it worked. I dont know whats wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Has the domain name propagated yet? Not a DW user but you may have to use the IP address in your welcome e-mail until the name resolves to your server. just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCrunk Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I had to set in the field: ftp host: "Whatever your domain is" So I didnt fill it out completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
