Can't use FTP anymore?

[Ageless]

Hi Neil,

Did something else at the hosting company change?
I had already slight problems lately trying to log in to the server with an FTP client, either I would be at the index and couldn't progress further, or after I made a new map I couldn't enter it without having to log off and log back in, sometimes twice, three times.

But now Filezilla completely flunks on trying to log in. Here's what I always get:

I do see I need to clean up a little, but with still 16% free space, that wouldn't be a reason to deny me entry.
Any idea?

Hi Jord,

I have not changed any of my FTP settings.

I have doubled your quota though to 500MB in case that helps.

If you would like the password reset, ping me an e-mail with the password you would like to use.

Cheers,

Neil.

I don't think it's a password problem.
First WS_FTP ceased to work with the BFS, so that's why I changed to FileZilla.
And where it first worked without flaws, it's now stopped.

I'll see if I can find another (small footprint) (free) FTP program that can do the job.
OK, now using Core FTP which does work:

For now, at least.

Glad to hear you can still get in.

I personally use the "FireFTP" plugin for FireFox

Cheers,

Neil.
