Upload to webspace from Mac OSX?

[yoojay68]

I am currently trying to upload to my webspace using GoLive v7.

I can conect from home on my PC laptop but as soon as I try to upload from work on MacOSX i get a -- cannot connect to FTP. (608) error --

the settings, in GoLive I am currently using are

protocol: ftp
Server: upload.ntlworld.com
Dierctory: username/
Username: username
Passowrd: original ntl password supplied with the modem

ntl technicalunsupport told me to use the fttp://username:password@homepage/ntlworld ftp server but this doesnt look to be support the mac

Is it that ntl dont like mac's or just don't like me...

please help resolve this issue befor my rapid hair loss become irreversable

You can only upload to your webspace from an NTL connection.

Oh and welcome

Thanks for the swift reply.

Will stop shouting at my mac now

I once had the opposite problem - working fine at home on my Mac, but not on my PC at work. Maverick has already explained why!

Sadly, when I phoned NTL we went all through this and yet the tech never once mentioned that it only works when you connect on your NTL account.

Drectory should be blank as you need to upload to the root directory.
The correct format for connection via IE is ftp://username:password@upload.ntlworld.com although I don't know whether this works on Macs.

theres a program called cyberduck thats a mac ftp client. http://cyberduck.ch/

i've used it before when i had a g3 imac (sadly i don't have the mac anymore)

but it was a good program and its free

you can also ftp using terminal if you are a fan of command line stuff
