Address: tjswoboda.com (my domain name) Login: (The eight digit number I use to log in to Godaddy's site) Password (Same password that I use for Godaddy's site) Port: 21 Anonymous is not checked, of course. It occurred to me to check active vs. passive mode, but it seems to be absent from the current version of SmartFTP. Any ideas where I could be going wrong? Thanks! --T.J. |

Hi T.J.,
Can you be more specific when you say that you can't establish a connection? Are you getting error messages, and if so, what do they say? I assume that SmartFTP produces a log, and it might provide you with more information. Also, I'm thinking the address could possibly be wrong. Not that you've got your domain name wrong, but that Godaddy might have some kind of switch you should be using. Another possibility, are you sure that your domain name has been resolved to the Godaddy servers? Even if it hasn't, there should still be an address you can use to upload. Do they provide you with a control panel? If there's a file manager included, you should be able to upload that way (not as fast as FTP) until you figure out the FTP problem. More questions than answers at this point, I'm afraid. -------------------- |

SmartFTP gives me the following:
[22:19:27] SmartFTP v2.5.1008.27 [22:19:27] Resolving host name "tjswoboda.com" [22:19:28] Connecting to 208.109.78.74 Port: 21 [22:19:28] Connected to tjswoboda.com. [22:19:28] 220 Microsoft FTP Service [22:19:28] USER 10917590 [22:19:28] 331 Password required for 10917590. [22:19:28] PASS (hidden) [22:19:28] 530 User 10917590 cannot log in. It seems like I may have the password wrong, but it's the same password I use to log into Godaddy's site. As for using the site builder at www.godaddy.com , that's even more confusing.  My domain name seems good to go: www.tjswoboda.com gives their holder page.Thanks! --T.J. |

Yep, definitely looks like a password issue. You should probably check with Godaddy to see if they assign a password to you. That's often done for FTPing.
ETA: Also, for the sake of security, you really shouldn't use the same password, anyway. This post has been edited by Dialer: Jan 15 2008, 01:31 AM -------------------- |

Hey TJ,
Did you receive an email from Godaddy showing what your login info should be? Often times hosts will send emails with the address and your login and password to use. Have you tried ftp.tjswoboda.com? Although to me too it seems like it might be your password. If you aren't sure, you can always contact godaddy themselves and you should be able to get your login ID and password and what the address is to log into. Let us know how it goes and if you have anymore questions and/or answers, please ask!!
