Uploading to website
« on: Tuesday 12 July 05 17:09 BST (UK) »

Hi everyone I have created my website using GEDMILL. I have my webspace at Rootschat. I have downloaded an FTP Program from CORE FTP.
When I try to connect to my site (http://stephenmiller.rootschat.net) I get an error message
"an existing connection was forcibly closed by remote host"
I haven't a clue what I am doing wrong
I do not know whether I may have my username/password wrong I have emailed Rootschat about this but as yet no reply.
Could someone please help and I would appreciate the help in plain English please because the next time I read any more jargon I will be doing an impression of Led Zeppellin except it will be my computer landing on the pavement and not the TV
Yours in total and utter frustration
Steve Huh

Hi Steve

Might be worth trying another ftp package - I used Coffecup - http://www.coffeecup.com/ and it seemed OK.

cheers

Hi Steve,

Your website is there - just had a look - so think it must be problems with the properties in your FTP Server.

Your "User ID" and "Account" should be your site - then password as you requested.

Just had a look at mine - and that seems all the details required.
Have another go - sometimes these things clear afterwards.

Cheers

Thanks for reply
1 I have tried Coffee Cup and all it does is try to connect for an hour and then I cancel it after getting very fed up

2 I am aware my site is there but I wonder if I am trying a wrong username and password I emailed rootschat for a reminder on Sunday but as yet no reply

Steve

I know you're frustrated I can hear it Tongue

But sit back for a while - have a beer or a cup of tea or something !It's tea time in England and in a little bit people will be back on line to help you!!

Relax for an hour or so!!

Hi Steve,

Sorry to see you are having problems.  As you can see from the replies, we would all love to help, but this looks like something that the Webspace Administrator will have to tackle (that's Trystan) 

I've sent him a PM just in case he misses this topic, but I don't know when he will be on-line again.

So in the mean time, as Annie says,

You'll get there eventually  Smiley

There's no problem there.

I've just logged in using FTP, and had a little look around.

Could you try another FTP program perhaps?

The 'host' and the 'account' or 'username' is the same, and they both include the ".rootschat.net" bit at the end of them.

So, if your webspace name was 'counter' for example, then you would use:


host:          counter.rootschat.net
user:          counter.rootschat.net
password:    whateveryourpasswordis

You don't put 'ftp' infront of the 'host' either.

Fingers crossed, let's hope that helps.

thanks Trystan I'll give it a try tomorrow but I think I have already tried what you suggest. However I have tried that many things I can't remember them all.
I still think I may have my username and password wrong because I used different ones for this site and the webspace.
If it doesn't work tomorrow then I will leave it as it has taken up 5 days already and I have other things to do.
cheers and thanks for trying

I sent you your webspace username and password by email and by Personal Message around ten minutes ago. Let me know if you get them.

If you'd like me to ring you I can do (don't put your phone number on here though)
