Hi all, I thought NTL was a dim memory but it has reared it ugly head again, this time in the form of a customer and his webspace.

I have created a site for him, I use Dreamweaver to create and also use the built in upload facility; simple yes!. Oh! no not with NTL...

I have my customers username and original password. I have the settings

FTP: upload.ntlworld.com
username: is correct
password: is correct

I have tried pretty much every combination I can see to connect to this webspace with no luck. these are my settings:

I am on here because I have tried contacting NTL with no luck; i now hum that 'most annoying tune they play while you wait' and find these people the most unprofessional and frustrating I have ever had the displeasure come into contact with. And I class myself as a very plaicd person; so laid back I'm near horizontal, to coin a friends description of me but this company really annoy me.

This should be so easy, I know I have the settings correct because I pulled my old files out from when I was with them a few years ago.. I have tried several FTP clients including CuteFTP, Voyager FTP, Crush and WSftp non work. I have tried ftp, sftp, disabled, enabled, I can get to the web address but not the ftp part... zip, nada, nothing. I have tried logging in via IE7, Opera and Firefox using these formats:

ftp://upload.ntlworld.com/ this would normally bring up either an error page, then I would go to File | Login As... or it would bring up a login dialog window.
ftp://user.name:password@upload.ntlworld.com/ This was a more direct route eliminating the login dialog screen.

Opera brings up FTP busy, IE7 doesn't even bother to start to load, and Firefox tries to load but never does.

If anyone has any insight please help, maybe I've made a typo but can't see it, my brains gone to mush humming that song all day.

I've read in another forum that NTL will only allow uploading to webspace from an NTL line? that can't be true surely, if it is I'm glad I got out and I'm sure its illegal.

I am on an ADSL line, I connect to other customers webspaces and hostings all the time with little trouble so i know its not hardware error, software error or typo's
