I can connect using Filezilla FTP client - so I know username and pass are correct. In FP, when I enter the details, it keeps coming back to the login screen. I use ZoneAlrm firewall, and I have FP setup to act as a server. Can anyone shed any light for me please?

'Publishing' also ensures the hidden files that are needed for the FP components to work get copied across as well. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.

I add the username, then the password, hit OK, and I'm back to where I started. As I said, I know that the username and password work. The ISP has assured me FP extensions are installed - the admin interface also shows that to be true. Other ideas???? _____________________________ " In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is!" (in reply to womble)

But, he wasn't using FP. Just a normal FTP client. _____________________________ " In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is!"

If you've FTPd you may have corrupted them. If it still doesn't work, turn off Zonealarm and try. People on here have had problems with that little fella. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to paul rayner)
