Hi,

Can anyone get homepages.demon.co.uk to work? I can log on and
that's about it

ftp> cd docroot

ftp> pwd
257 "/docroot" is current directory.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful

.... and that's all I get

Been like this for 24 hours.

Email them and they just ask you to phone them. Can't think why :(

I've just done a test FTP and it's working OK.

Steve,
Can you actually list a directory? I can connect but that's it :(
It may be that they allocate ftp servers by domain name and mine has
hung. Impossible to find out since they seem to have no monitoring
in place....

I just did a quick test using WSFTP95. It listed the directory before
and after the transfer.

Do you need passive transfer mode?
Just a guess, it's a long time since I used command line FTP

I've just tried using command line and it works OK without passive
transfer.

Just tried from a web browser.

I can get in ok but I get challenged for authentication when moving
directories.

Wierd. I'll try from a unix box tonight. Can't see why it would be
a client issue though??

It's working OK for me, but I'm using WS_FTP.

FTP (the one built into Windows Explorer) is working fine with my commercial
web site, which I believe is on the same server these days.
