I was just trying to upload some stuff after a month of nothing. For some reason it won’t upload. All I get is a “couldn’t sign into your FTP server” My server is fine. I am uploading files from Cyberduck right into my server. I have no clue what’s going on. I have no clue why it’s doing this when it worked a month ago with no apparent problem. Is anybody out there able to help me? It’s very very frustrating. No surprise there. Thank you. ---

Re enter your publishing settings, also make sure your website address is correct in the settings. ---

Tried it just now. Nothing. Thank you though. You think it would help if I used Time Machine to reload RW from a couple months ago? ---

I brought back RW8 from Time Machine from a few months ago. Didn’t work. I opened an old RW7. Didn’t work. Opened my ftp client. Worked fine, ---

If you go to publishing settings and click the test button, what happens? if it tests okay, set the path by clicking the browse button and selecting the path from the server. ---

Nothing happens when I test it. It just hangs there. Like it’s trying to reach my server but it cannot. ---

It seems like you’ve got two posts going for the same issue? > [@Just refuses to upload for no obvious reason](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/just-refuses-to-upload-for-no-obvious-reason/34243): > > Here’s a surprise: RW decided not to upload. The server is fine, I upload files easily through Cyberduck. I haven’t changed a thing since last using RW a month ago. It just says now: COULDN’T SIGN INTO YOUR FTP SERVER. Any help? Please! ---

Yep! My mistake. I never saw the first one show up anywhere. So I posted again. Sorry. ---

Up until a month ago RW was uploading reasonably well. Then last night I wanted to upload for the first time this summer. As I wrote above, it didn’t work. AND I CHANGED NONE OF THE PUBLISHING SETTINGS since it had worked. None. After all your help and the help of others I double-checked deeper into Cyberduck just to see if the exact settings matched. They didn’t. There was an entirely different IP address. I copied and pasted that in… ---
