I haven't changed any of the settings, which irritates me =[

And they all look fine.. I can't work it out *sob*

It either tells me straight away "Unable to make a connection. Please try again." or pretends it's connecting for a minute and then tells me that.

I do not like it =[

Can you connect by ordinary FTP?

I haven't tried yet, I've been fiddling with stuff on FireFTP to try and make it work =[

I shall hunt around for another FTP thang now though.

start->run->ftp

if you're on windows. (But I have a vague memory that you've got a mac?)

I am indoodly.

I'm grabbing Cyberduck now to see if it works

I do not own boot camp

Nor do I have windows on a separate partition.

You are a silly, SILLY man.

Good question, actually, how do you open a shell prompt on OS X?

I get the impression from this page that there's an equivalent built-in FTP command to the windows one:
www.ss64.com/osx/ftp.html
I have never used OS X, though.
Edit:

"terminal.app" is the answer, apparently.

I don't know what I'm doing well enough to risk this..

I've broken several computers in my days, and I haven't paid this one off yet.

I think I'll just fiddle with some settings and/or give up in a bit =]

If I was more confident, I might give it a go, but I'm feeling a bit like a pansy tonight =D

Cheers for the help though

Open up Terminal.app...

... and discover you've got a fully-fledged UNIX system already installed?

It's set on the right account?

Mine sometimes resets itself for no apparent reason

(

Jahled Three shades of black, Thu 29 Nov 2007, 20:34, archived)

I have 3 different accounts, all with the right settings

Tried them all to no avail =[

Firewall?

Never been a problem before..

I can't seem to connect through the FTP program I just downloaded either, but it didn't give me an option to put in a password, so I don't know whether it's user error with this thing...

I've never had problems before today, it was fine earlier this morning in fact, I'm confused now =[

Meh

it happened to me once. Don't know what did it, and don't know what solved it :(

Might just be a problem with firefox..

I can wait without any uploads for a moment, it's no big deal..
