FTP

How long does it take before you can log in to the ftp server after you register?

I keep getting

"ftp_login(): Login incorrect. in /usr/local/ndn/web/webftp/includes/filesystem.inc.php on line 56" and

"The error occured in file /usr/local/ndn/web/webftp/includes/filesystem.inc.php on line 59.

* function ftp_openconnection (/usr/local/ndn/web/webftp/modules/browse/browse.inc.php on line 214)
* function net2ftp_module_printbody (/usr/local/ndn/web/webftp/main.inc.php on line 288)
* function net2ftp (/usr/local/ndn/web/webftp/index.php on line 54)
argument 0: printBody"

The time varies. It may also be that the Dreamhost webftp client (net2ftp) may be relying on DNS - in which case you will have to wait for DNS to propagate (I'm not usre how their net2ftp locates the directory ).

You might try logging into your *server* (you can find the name of your server on the "user" panel of the Control Panel) with your username/pass, or your actual domain (which will tell you if DNS has propagated) with a traditional ftp client.

Even if DNS has not yet propagated, you can reach your space by logging into the *server* that way.

I'm having the same problem as well. I just registered everything this morning about 3 hours ago and so far I can't log into my FTP - neither my domain nor the server works and I've trying net2ftp and WS_FTP.

Could this have something to do with the switch error they reported?

LCDXX,

I suppose it could be related to the switch issue, depending upon which server your account was setup on. It could also be that things are just "backed up" - I suggest giving it a little more time, especially since the support queue is presently so long.

I know it is hard to wait when you want to "git 'er done!", but sometimes it just takes longer for things to get put in place.

Thanks for the reassureance... I'll just step away and let things happen for a bit before I try to get my hands dirty. But you are right, it's so hard not to dive-in and start going nuts!
