Hi all, i am having trouble uploading to my Web Space, in other words it RW DOESNT UPLOAD ??

My Internet and phone line provider tell me i dont have a problem at there end.

But he did suggest i tried a different Port number, change it from 21 to 443 i thought GREAT i will try that.

However i cannot see how i can change the PORT number in RW publishing settings ??? it simply isnt an option !!

Have you talked to Greg @barchard at Chillidog? You mentioned one of your hosts was him.

Also, have you tried an FTP program such as Cyberduck? That will let you set up ftp settings, including choosing a port.

@LSPhoto Cheers Lisa, o yes i have asked Greg, just a minute ago.
I do have Yummy FTP but i am having the same problem with that, and i can change the Port number with that, which i just did, but it made no difference !!.
However Greg has me using SFTP which of course uses a different port number, so i await his reply.

Perhaps i should look for a new phone supplier !!!

Try this… but you may have to wait to hear back from him: These are my Cyberduck settings for Chillidog.

Tim-
Sometimes it’s as simple as an extra space hiding somewhere, or restarting RW. Glad to see it’s working now :slight_smile:
