Cable Forum - View Single Post - Uploading from a non-NTL IP address

gemma · 11-03-2004, 17:40

I am trying to upload to my webspace from a laptop which does not connect through ntl (it uses demon). It has ftp software installed which lets me upload to a whole host of sites, but not to my ntl webspace. It just says "unable to connect" (NOT "unable to resolve" - so it can find it ok, it just won't connect).

I did that thing where you type ftp upload.ntlworld.com at the command prompt and it connects and disconnects immediately.

I figure this could be down to two things - either my laptop firewall is more ferocious than ZoneAlarm on my home/ntl PC (although would I still be able to upload to other sites if this was the case?) OR I can't upload from a non-ntl ip address.

Do you have any idea whether either of these could be the cause - or if it is something else?

Hope you can help
