Without more information it’s probably impossible to find help. Would need to things like

- Exact message
- Screen shot of your RW publishing settings
- Did you check with a test connection

try connecting with ftp client and if successful make sure to use same login info and settings for RW.

Not sure what happened. I would contact your host company. I’m assuming you got this message when you hit **test**?

Did you just recently change host?

I went to the [http://gil.machighway.com/](http://gil.machighway.com/) and got a message that it no longer on this server or the server is misconfigured and not working. This is not a message I would want to see on my hosting company website. 😕

In your password, you have a capital ‘P’ in your rapidweaver setup, but a small ‘p’ in your email instructions.

As Greg says, I’d recommend changing your password after you get things sorted.

This appears to be an issue with the FTP settings, but if you continue to experience trouble, give us a shout: [realmacsoftware.com/support](http://realmacsoftware.com/support)

It’s an FTP server, not HTTP. If you change your address to ftp://gil.machighway.com/ you get the server (wants a logon).  
Think it may be the password setting(@jabostick) pointed out above.
