accessing ftp

  #1
Jul 1st, 2009
I created a website on IXWebhosting.com. I then set up ftp to a folder named "transfer". On my XP Pro computer I access it by:
ftp://66.116.193.2/ereddick.com/transfer/. It opens immediately (doesn't ask for the name and password I had set up). Then I choose "Open ftp site in Windows Explorer" in the Page dropdown. I can then drag and drop to and from the opened window. Works great. On my Vista computer, I get a login screen, but after I enter the proper name and password, I get the dreaded (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I have a client who needs to upload some files to this ftp. He is running XP Home and Internet Explorer (I don't know which version). He gets the same result as my Vista.

Help, anyone? Thanks

Why not just go to a DOS prompt in Vista and use the ftp command? If you type ftp /? it will list all of the commands. To get there, go to Programs>Accessories and select the DOS command prompt (which is the little C:> prompt in a black boxx

Did you leave your explorer session open while testing it on the other machines? Some FTPDs only allow a single session per user. Also try using the DOS FTP on the Vista machine and see if it gives you a little more details on what the error is:

dos Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. C:\>ftp apex2006sql
  2. Connected to apex2006sql.
  3. 220 Microsoft FTP Service
  4. User (apex2006sql:(none)): abc
  5. 331 Password required for abc.
  6. Password:
  7. 530 User abc cannot log in.
  8. Login failed.
  9. ftp>

Did you enter the username and password and did it say you were logged in? If you were able to log in with DOS and not in IE then you are looking at a browser issue.

dos Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. C:\>ftp apex2006sql
  2. Connected to apex2006sql.
  3. 220 Microsoft FTP Service
  4. User (apex2006sql:(none)): ?????
  5. 331 Password required for ?????.
  6. Password:
  7. 230-Hello From Aex Software Inc.
  8. 230 User ????? logged in.
  9. ftp> ls
  10. 200 PORT command successful.
  11. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
  12. @@@ files will be listed @@@
  13. 226 Transfer complete.
  14. ftp: 39 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 39000.00Kbytes/sec.
  15. ftp> cd school
  16. 250 CWD command successful.
  17. ftp> ls
  18. 200 PORT command successful.
  19. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
  20. @@@ files will be listed @@@
  21. 226 Transfer complete.
  22. ftp: 10 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 10000.00Kbytes/sec.
  23. ftp> pwd
  24. 257 "/school" is current directory.
  25. ftp>

Commands:
cd <dirname> -- change directory

In DOS I didn't get that far. What do I enter at the ftp> prompt? The ftp folder is ereddick.com/transfer/
It didn't like it when I just typed in ereddick.com/transfer/ at the prompt.

I showed you the command..

open up the DOS prompt and do this from the C:\> prompt, i.e.
C:\> ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

type: "ftp 66.116.193.2"
<press enter>
it will ask for your username, type it in
<press enter>
it will ask for your password, type it in
<press enter>
it will say login OK/FAILED. If you logged in type "cd /ereddick.com/transfer"
<press enter>

ok, thanks--small steps. I entered username when asked. When it asked for password the cursor just sits there. I type in the password but the cursor doesn't move.

Its not supposed to -- its hiding the password for security reasons. Just type it in anyway and it will work
