FTP Problem?

Question

I've checked my details and they're all correct. Port 21, Passive Mode...

but GUESS WHAT I GET!:

530 Login incorrect

Don't dare tell me to check them again! I spent one hour checking and attempting unsuccesfully to login!

Answer 1

Contact you FTP operator and make sure of the pass & login. Many FTP servers are case sensitive. This is definately a problem of having the wrong login/pass combo.

Answer 2

If you're getting a 530 error, then the "passive mode" and "port 21" isn't a problem. You're obviously having no trouble COMMUNICATING with the FTP server. However, there is an authentication issue. A 530 means that the username and password did not match the settings on the server. They both CAN be case-sensitive. Sometimes a mistake that I make (either on the client or on the server) is to have a leading space in the username (because I copied and pasted).

But the 530 error definitely means that the username/password combo didn't match what was on the server.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You've got everything setup fine the way it looks so far except for userid and pass. Do you have a firewall on either system? What type of ftp server are you trying to login to? Have you tried creating another user and accessing the site?

Answer 4

it is incredibly not a DNS or password concern. Are you specific the FTP server continues to be working? it incredibly is obviously a non-connect subject, so my first guess could be that the server isn't accepting connections. My 2nd guess could be that your community firewall may be blockading something.

Answer 5

sounds like your login isn't set up on the ftp side. so you cannot log in. did someone set it up for you?

Answer 6

Sounds like an incorrect username/password.
