FTP upload With Mac OSX

johnferry · 18-08-2004, 23:39

I have read a lot of threads about uploading websites to NTL webspace, but I didn't come across any from Mac users.

I have tried using Fetch and Transmit as recommended on the NTL World website, checked my user name and password and tried my original password and my amended one.

Unfortunately I have been able to upload my website onto the NTL server.

The messages I have been getting are -

Error: The server dropped the connection (it may be too busy) (Fetch)

Could not connect to server
Server closed connection
(Transmit)

Can anyone offer any advice?

I have only uploaded using FTP once before, but that was with Mac OS9.

The problem isn't with Transmit, I have used Transmit very successfully (with OSX 10.2) to upload to my NTL FTP space. I doubt Fetch is the issue either. I do, however, find NTL's FTP servers to be a bit of a lottery. Monkeybreath is bona fide NTL staff, you are safe to send him the details he's asking for in a Private Message so that he can look into it for you.

My grateful thanks to monkeybreath and Chris T.

I took MB's advice and called NTL customer services to check that my webspace had been activated. It hadn't.

They have now activated it and my webspace now works as it should.

I am delighted I joined the forum and will definately call in next time I need to check something out.
