Troubleshooting Business & Advanced FTP

There are a few problems you may run into when using FTP. Most are simple in nature and can be solved by checking a few basic things.


Unable to login

  • Start with the basics. Double-check your hostname and username. Retype your password.

  • Remember usernames and passwords are Case Sensitive. If the original email you received shows the password as lowercase, then it needs to be typed in as lowercase.

  • If that still doesn't help, check your Internet connection to make sure you are able to access the Internet. If not, contact your ISP for further help.

  • If you can connect, are you able to browse webpages? If not, contact your ISP for further help.


  • Unable to view uploaded pages

  • Make sure you have uploaded to the "/public" directory. Anything you wish to see online must be in the "/public" directory.

  • If it is in the proper directory, delete your Temporary Internet Files and refresh your browser.
