I am trying to connect to my site's ftp server and get the following error in QNE

FTP Connection Error:

Please verify the server address, username and password.
Also check that your firewall allows ….

But, I have the same exact setup in FileZilla to the same site and it works just fine

It muct be something I didn't setup in QWB, but what?

Thanks

Maybe you will need to use Secure FTP?

You mean SFTP?
What should my setting be for that?

Thanks

The configuration depends on your web host, so only your host can tell you exact settings.
But just like in WWB you can configure SFTP via the publish settings.

Yes, that's what I have tried.
I want to use SFTP, the site is now https:// so it should be available.
I asked the hosting company, they tell me to ask the spotware provider....

So, I am stuck

In the publish settings you can configure Secure FTP:
• FTP with TLS/SSL (Port 990 - Implicit)
• FTP with TLS/SSL (AUTH TLS - Explicit)
• SFTP using SSH2 (Secure Shell) SFTP, FTPS.

Are you sure the settings are correct?
It does not look like this is a secure ftp server.
For me, only standard FTP works for this address.

Note that this can only be a configuration issue.

Well, is that not a secure site? https://ourvilla.net.au
If you visit it, there is https:// and a lock icon next to it

Cheers

For Secure FTP these are no the right settings. There is no secure server at the specified address on port 22.
Maybe you will need to use FTP with TLS/SSL?
Only your webhost can tell your the correct settings.

I got an answer from my Host company provider:

  • I'm sorry to say that we do not support SFTP on our shared servers. You will not able to access SFTP for his domain.


Sorry I have wasted your time (and mine)

Thanks
