FileZilla not connecting to server

#1 Post by MatPev » 2023-02-28 14:17

Hi, I am new to FileZilla and are having trouble connecting to our server. If you could help, that would be great!

The response every time we try to connect is: Response: 550 Home directory does not exist
The next line puts out: Error Critical Error: Could not connect to the server.

If there is any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Many Thanks,
Matthew

The server does not have a Home/root directory for the FTP account set up. If it is your server, you need to define at least once directory for the account, so it has a directory to start in. If it is NOT your server, you need to contact the server administrator for that very same task.

I don't understand, I will post screenshots so I can show what is happening as I might not have described it well.

Still the same answer. The server administrator forgot to set a valid Home directory for your FTP account on the server. Just get in touch with server support to have this fixed. Not fixable from your side.
