Hi I am Bjoern and new to this forum and website building in general . I built a site with elements and try to publish

FTP Hostname:xxxx

Username: xxxx

Password: xxxxx

Port: **21**

now I tried to enter those details and played with variations in speed, active, passive and so forth but within rapid weaver it tells me that I have to choose a port between 1024 and 66xxx.

error : Web server is not running (Permission denied)

if I enter the website it says : **403 - Forbidden** Access to this page is forbidden……

Does anyone has an idea what to do to overcome those errors and publish successfully?

Can you test your credentials in another FTP app to ensure they are correct?

We also have a troubleshooting guide you can run through here to help resolve the issues:

Let me know how you get on.
