I built a site with RW8, then upgraded to classic, but classic made the site look dark, so I bought Elements.

But, I have watched Steve’s video and my Elements can not open earlier RW sites.

So I feel that I have to build new site, but t

the publishing window will not work with the info I entered (attached).

The company that hosts my domain gave me the following info:

server: [ftp.startlogic.com](http://ftp.startlogic.com/)

path: /public\_html

domain name: [perihelionproductions.org](http://perihelionproductions.org/)

subdirectory: /home/periheli/public\_html

URL [perihelionproductions.org](http://perihelionproductions.org/)

ISP [st82.startlogic.com](http://st82.startlogic.com/)

Can anyone detect what I did wrong?

Hi @traut

The error message shows your FTP login details are not correct.

You might want to double-check with your web hosting provider to make sure you are using the correct login credentials.

If your web host is using cPanel, your main FTP username and password is usually the same as your cPanel username and password.

Also you can create a new FTP user in your cPanel if you want to test another FTP login.

That all seems like it’s correct. If it is, and as long as your FTP password is correct, you shouldn’t have any problems connecting via Elements.

Can you test out another FTP client like [Cyberduck](https://cyberduck.io/) to see if you can make a connection with the credentials your web host gave you?
