[Holllywood]

Hey Heather.
Yep that's what i use. It tells me "Can't login,server closed connection, retry 30s". and will not connect. ?????

gee hollywood im not sure why you cant get in
most peopel i talk to have no trouble
you dont use caps in your login name or password right
has to be just the way it looks in my profile

[Holllywood]

Thanks Heather for the quick reply. I put it in just the way it is.
I get this:

   SmartFTP v1.5.988.17
   Resolving host name "liquid-skeleton.i989.net"
   Connecting to 65.188.225.79 Port: 21
   Connected to liquid-skeleton.i989.net.
   Server closed connection
   Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...

you did it :)
your finally in
i thougt you were anyways for a moment

[Holllywood]

Heather,
Therein lies the problem. It keeps trying to login and then Quits! I can try re-connect, with no luck.What you see in my above post is as far as it goes.

Make sure the addy (in the address bar) does not contain the word "anonymous"

And of course, anonymous is unchecked. I got it to work.

Also, Smart FTP is telling me it's about to expire. Unless I pay for it, or download a new version. I don't have a use for an FTP program, except to access Heather's site.

[Holllywood]

I'm getting to the site. It just won't login. It keeps trying every
30 seconds. About on the 12th. attempt, it closes for good. I'm on a
fast DSL. And My Pc. has a little punch to it. I can't figure it. lol.

[heather valentine]

i see you were able to get in this time

[markofkane]

Check your settings if you cannot get in. Click on the link for an example (the password doesn't show, of course)

I'm sorry, Heather.

Excuse me for being paranioid.

I trust you.[8D]

Mark,
I took a look at your ftp mine looks the same. Did you have to change anything in the firewall?

[markofkane]

I just use the Windows Firewall, since I am on dial-up.

Wow. I never knew you could ftp from the command prompt. I have been playing with computers for over 3 years.

Chalk up another lesson for me.
