Web hosting 'Not connecting' ?

#1 Post by akmbd166 » 2022-01-29 05:44

With W10 we are unable to connect to 'royalwebhosting.net' with the correct server name, username, password, port, and remote directory.
RWH indicates we should be able to connect with that specific info, but we get the 'Not connected' result from FileZilla.

We are also having problems with connecting to some other (volunteer organization) SFTP server sub-directories that we have been able to connect to for many years with FileZilla.
Has anything changed with FZ in the last few months ?

Please advise.
Thank you.

Tim
Thank you for the follwoup !
Wasnt aware of 'Message log', not very high-tech here, but looks like some relevant info.
In this case, didnt put in the port as RWH indicated it would eventually go to 21 if not entered, and looks like (below) that is the case, but still no connection.
Thanks again !

You tried a bit of things. But it looks like the server you want to connect to is not an SFTP but an FTPS server. Please use "FTP" as protocol to connect to it. FileZilla will automatically try FTPS in the default settings.

Code: Select all

Thanks much for the info !
Tried the FTP as protocol, but still no connection.
But we did include that info in a message to RWH support, along with a copy of the 'Message log'.
Thanks again.
Alan

Tim & boco
Thanks for your help!
The FTP 'Message log' helped RWH determine that there was a password problem.
And now we are able to open the hosting directory and upload our website.
Thanks again.
Alan
