Board index » Windows Vista » ftp password

Windows Vista7
My ftp connects to the host but my password is rejected. I've tried

removing firewall, done a virus check etc, changed my password and spent

time with the help at my isp. Still won't accept my password. Is vista to

blame and if so how do I get out of it?

Vista is not to blame. There is no problem using FTP clients in Vista. You

are doing something wrong. No one reading about this can help you with so

little information.



Things to try:



1. Use a different FTP program. FileZilla is good and it is free.

Double-check the FTP information you are entering. Usually the site address

will be like ftp.mysite.com



Check your username/password. For instance, my username/password for my FTP

site is completely different from the one I have for the Internet

connection and email.



2. If you want to try and get help from the newsgroup, quote the exact text

of any error messages you get.



3. Make sure you have allowed FTP traffic in whatever firewall you're using.

If using a third-party security program such as McAfee or Norton, uninstall

it (those products are garbage) and replace with a better antivirus. NOD32,

Kaspersky, or even Avast free are recommended in conjunction with the

built-in Windows Firewall.

What ftp program are you using?

UAC on or off?

Maybe you have a bad keyboard, or the capslock is on?



I use CuteFTP with no problems, but it does require UAC approval.
