According to siteground … Rapid Weaver’s FTP client is doing something wrong. I asked over and over what credentials to add … no luck.
Here is what they said rapidwaever was doing …
Upon establishing a FTP connection your FTP client not only connects to the server but it creates the path that is assigned in the settings, which means that the ftp connection creates a this path /home/learnw98/public_html/70north. However, this is the default path of your siteground account, so it duplicates itself and the final path is public_html/70north/home/learnw98/public_html/70north, which is not correct. Konstantin K.: To avoid all of this I can recommend you using another FTP client, such as filezilla Konstantin K.: or you try to establish FTP connection without imputing path. Konstantin K.: with all other settings being the same just without any related path.
Paths can get a bit complicated. When you created the FTP User account in CPanel there was a Directory field. What did you enter there? That’s the directory you end up in when you simply connect to the server with that user’s login without entering a path. Sometimes that user is restricted to only accessing folders within that directory. In other words, they can’t get to any directories higher up in the path. This depends on the server config, though.
Unless you cleared the Directory box, you are likely logging into a directory under where you need to be. It may be best to delete that FTP account and create a new one.
Did they tell you what the final path should be for your web files? That’s what you’d need to browse to. If you create a new FTP login with the Directory field empty, you’ll likely see a “public_html” folder when you click the browse button. That will be what you want to select.
