Failure to connect after new installtion

Post by songman »

I've previously used Core FTP with no problems. However, having just lost my old hard disc and re-downloaded the software, I'm getting the red "connection failed" message.

I'm logging in with my same username and password as always.

When I type in the URL, ":21", which I assume is "Port 21" (whatever that is) positions itself at the end of the URL - is this a factor? Could changing the "port" make a difference?

Any help appreciated.

OK, I found the answer with a bit of trial and error: the URL box didn't like "http//"; going from www. solved the problem.
