[cr0wonline]

[21:11:33] SmartFTP v2.0.999.5
[21:11:34] Resolving host name "ftp.ulmb.com (ftp://ftp.ulmb.com)"
[21:11:34] Connecting to 64.72.116.195 Port: 21
[21:11:34] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
[21:11:34] Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...
[21:11:34] Client closed the connection.

That's the error i get whenever i try to connect through FTP. Any help?

try just connecting to ulmb.com and not ftp.ulmb.com

[cr0wonline]

ftp.ulmb.com (ftp://ftp.ulmb.com) is the ftp server. ulmb.com does not have the ftp software, so it wouldn't work.

Actually I used to use ulmb.com and worked just fine...

[cr0wonline]

Doesn't for me.

You are sure you entered the information right?

Username: mysite.ulmb.com
Password: mypassword(found in site info)
Host: ftp.ulmb.com:21

[cr0wonline]

Yes i am sure.

[civworldleague]

Have you tried another ftp client? if all your information is correct the only 2 things it could be is ulmb or your client(I have never had problems with connecting)

[cr0wonline]

I've already tried all these things, so just to stop suggestions that i've already tried: Different website, different program, different computer, different host(worked). ;)

I really need to get this to work because i need to upload a new skin, but i want to backup my site first. Yes, i know the file manager has a backup feature, but that doesn't save the directories.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, though.

Is a problem with your firewall.

Is a problem with your firewall.

That's odd, i have no firewalls running right now :confused: Alright, i'll try it again and let you know how it goes. :)

You may have software or hardware firewalls.
A software firewall could be an anti-virus program or a real firewall program, while a hardware firewall could be as simple as your everyday router.

[cr0wonline]

Hmm, nope. I've disabled all software firewalls, and right now i'm connected diretly to the modem, no router. Unfortunately, it still isn't working. However, i will tr it with another computer and see how that goes.

[cr0wonline]

Well, that's odd. I just tried it on my mom's computer again, and it worked. Do you have any idea what the firewall problem could be? My antivirus/firewall is completely disabled, Windows Firewall is disabled, and my router's firewall is disabled.

[Tyler]

I have no way of seeing what it could be, you should contact the company that made the computer

[cr0wonline]

It wouldn't be that, since it worked perfectly up until last week.

[Tyler]

It is obviously something with your computer if it works for everyone else and it even works for you on a different computer on the same network.

[cr0wonline]

I agree, but i know that it is a software issue. Thanks for the help so far guys, but i guess i'll have to figure this out on my own.
