Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008ftp client is not working to all sites since 5/5/08
I normally ftp to 2 sites. I have not been able to get 2nd site working in a week. Any help would be appreciated. I have double checked firewall settings and have tried to breathe life into process by downloading a 3rd party app too. I for some reason cannot get onto to my charter webspace which is causing me fits. overall location is ftp://webspaces.charter.net. It never comes back. What I normally do is have a net place that goes right into my account at charter. Error I get back is "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: Operation timed out" Charter has not been helpful. I really need to update info at this site. I have tried plugging into cable modem direct too (bypassing router) no luck. Only can get to one ftp site. Thanks in advance for help. John > I normally ftp to 2 sites.

Now that's a better address and seems to work. So what is the problem, can you not log in? You're a bit short on info as to what the problem is. But on another note, they seem to imply using an FTP program and I suggest Filezilla. It free. Sending files to your web space is easier with FTP than doing it over internet explorer. Most providers do provide a web page access, but I guess I fail to use them since I've been doing it with FTP since the early 80's. You can with IE, but you'll find it easier in the long run with an FTP program. Al, My issue is i cannot log in. My webpage at charter is something i have been update weekly for about 4+years during the school year. I can get to webpage to see content - just cannot login. I first tried Core FTP Lite and this am tried Filzilla. I could not get Filezilla to work to either site but Core Ftp worked to one of two. So my issue is logging to my charter webpage. I cannot even get vanilla webpage to respond. That is what you were sent to via ftp://webpages.charter.net. I dont see how filezilla works as a client it looks more to be a ftp server application. I dont want to serve just move files to a server... So what option did you have working in filezilla to get ftp://webpages.charter.net to work? > > errr, > > ftp://webpages.charter.net [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > been doing it with FTP since the early 80's.

You can with IE, but >> you'll find it easier in the long run with an FTP program. We'll the login part I can't help you with. Other than you giving me the login / password.. I guess you could but the world would know it. Anyway, you can have charter reset it too. Like any program, cuteftp, fillzilla, wsftp, any of them, whatever works works. If you want to try that link in IE and get past that, then you're good to try cute ftp, but yes, the login is an issue I don't know how to get past. I've had the same issue startup my Verizon acct. I had to reset one account password cause I got something screwed up. Just could not get past that login. So I reset it. Oh, remember to try both name@charter.net or just name, some logins demand the @ part of the account. Not always but some. Its worth a try. Big Al, I can reset password to account by myself and have done that several times over the weekend. Dont know what issue is. When I log in with Core Ftp Lite only good response is with site as a http://account:password@webpages.charter.net. But with an Http connection i cannot send files. Otherwise twiddling with all setups parameters in that with ftp://account:password@webpages.charter.net come back no good. So how did you get a valid response with filezilla going to ftp://webpages.charter.net? I cant figure out how to do it with filezilla - like i said it looks an ftp server application... Thanks for your help. I'll guess I can wait it some more. I'll be sure to post back here if i figure it out. John > > Al, > > My issue is i cannot log in.

Not always but some. Its worth a try. Sorry, had to duck out for a few hours. There are two major modes in ftp. Passive and active. Some programs like windows FTP.exe does not allow you to adjust it. (wow, just went through this with another person yesterday, what is with ftp all of a sudden.). Open filezilla and click File -> Sitemanager. This is how you make sites. Click 'newsite' GENERAL: Host = webpages.charter.net Skip port Servertype is the default ftp - bla bla Logontype = normal user = your account name password = your password Put anything you want in comments. ADVANCED: you can fill in the local directory to start you anywhere in your pc like C:\webpage remote = / not \ TRANSFER SETTINGS: now this is the iffy part. You will have to try with all 3 of those radio buttons "mode" to find which works if any. work from right to left. Hit OKay. To connect you simply hit the little arrow just beside the site manager icon (thats the first on the toolbar) and if you had 20 sites you would get the list of sites and could just pick the one you want. You only have one right now so the list is one long. You should see the large box below there fill with conversation between your pc and the host. The end result should be the two directory trees, one of your PC on the left and one with the web page on the right. You click on the + / - like any windows explorer to open and close folders. Its a bit tricky to send files but ultimately you can double click on a file (not folder) on either side and it will send the file. From here you should just sit down and read the help. There is a setting / options window to change things like "open last" or "remember window settings" etc. You'll just have to play. ANY ftp program is similar to this. WS_Ftp Lite was what I cut my teeth on. But it was technically only free to students. I latched onto this program and, well, it works. Once you get used to any program you always go faster since you're used to it. You can technically do this on DOS command line too. But you can't move folders quite as easy as this will. GUI programs are much better an moving entire directory trees. Let me know how you come out. Big Al, Thanks for steering me to ftpzilla client. last time i grabbed the server.. At this point I cannot get ftpzilla to work with webpages.charter.net. I have opened up a disabled windows firewall to filezilla.exe opened up my router to exposes its ip address to webpages.charter.net at all ports opened up router to machine behind it to webpages.charter.net at all ports tried more than a few setting within ftpzilla to get its network wizzard to pass. it still is failing on a 502 which points to an issue with firewall or router. so i have tried a bunch with no avail. I have read wiki pages on networking with filezilla. must by my router is a problem. maybe later in day/night i'll try pluging in to modem direct (bypass router). > > Big Al, > > I can reset password to account by myself and have done that several times [quoted text clipped - 135 lines] > > Let me know how you come out. Ok. I just tried running flpzilla with the router bypassed. With a direct connect to cable modem the network wizzard passed. However no combination would work with a hookup to my account at webpages.charter.net > Big Al, > Thanks for steering me to ftpzilla client. last time i grabbed the server..

Here is low down of last thing to fix it. changed my router port forwarding for computers on lan. Used to have a string of addresses that forwarded to and from wan site for charter. Fix was to address each machine on lan side separately. Now filezilla works and regular ftp://webpages.charter.net works... Really odd - up til last monday i never had a port forward for my charter ftp.... I am soo happy. Thanks Big Al for your patience and assistance. > I normally ftp to 2 sites.
