Hello,  
I can no longer access my FTP server from rapideaver for ONE web space, I have more sites and a single problem and only for a few days. Each time, I receive an error message “Could not sign in to your FTP server - URL using bad / illegal format or missing URL” … while nothing has changed (in appearance) in the RW file .  
Can someone help me?

If after going through the steps outlined you still need help, you’ll need to provide a bit more information. For starters:

- screenshot of publishing settings
- screenshot of the error message
- hosting company name
