You need to have implicit FTP over TLS. Or maybe you just need to wait for the server to apply changes. Try now.

i have implicit FTP selected... Still wont let me connect....

[awesomeguy]

I doubt this will help, but try fixing the permissions.

Nope.

[awesomeguy]

Then it may be a server side issue. Contact mrpijey.

One other thing: regenerate the password. You might have copied some of the spaces by accident.

Make sure the the IP-lock is right.

[valvedubstep]

Yep...

Locked to IP Address: 107.77.165.* (* = any number)

It must be your password that is incorrect or your permissions may need updating. Click both buttons and try again. Remember it takes 2 minutes to update the settings.

Have i got stuck with a banned IP range, maybe?

[Andy]

I've sent you a PM with a manually set password. I can't see any reason why you can't connect other than you're entering some details incorrectly.

[valvedubstep]

Still no dice... Though i've found an interesting anomaly.

The filezilla client reports a different IP than what this site reports..

I smell ISP tampering!

[Andy]

Google what is my IP and see if it matches the FTP page. If it does you're good to go. If not then something is wong with your ISP and how it routes your connection.

[valvedubstep]

Yep. ISP tampering. Proxy on HTTP(S).

Bastards AT&T!

[Andy]

Ok I've set the IP to allow the last two parts of your IP as wildcards. If you ever hit IP lock it'll clear it, so don't! If your IP changed significantly you'll have to get in touch again. You can use update password and permissions but not IP lock.

Thank you!
