Are there any problems being reported in website/admin ‘website test’?

Nothing at all. I've even tried erasing and re-writing the perameters manually. I've checked the info on my hosting site to make sure all the info was correct as well.

website address (URL): http://XXXXXXXXX.com

Destination folder: /

Server type: FTP

FTP address: 107.xxx.xx.xxx

Username: XXXXXXXX

Password: XXXXXXX

pasive FTP

Gzip compression

connections:3

Port 21

E-Mail:XXXXXXXXX

nothing in data management

Maybe change would be good here?

Consider checking with your provider the possibility of SFTP or FTPS (both, more secure methods of communicating over the internet).

I would recommend that you follow the providers instructions for making such connections, and use them in Step 5 > FTP & DB connection parameters.

And yes, do not use http:// https:// ftp:// or alike in the server configuration, unless told otherwise.

Ich can find this information.

You can test the FTP access with the FTP program FileZilla to see whether the data in the parameters is correct. A small guide to this is also on the PDF file linked above on page 29.

Jayson, along with all of the other suggestions, if you are running any third party antivirus/malware/vpn or firewall products, please either temporarily uninstall or disble them and test again. This type of problem is frequently from a "false positive" detection.

You may also wish to attempt to browse destination before starting the upload.

It is great to hear the problem is resolved.

Please don’t forget to mark this thread as ‘resolved’.

Thank you, Jayson.
