Troubleshooting FTP Connections
If you are running FTP and have difficulty opening a connection, try the following:
- Verify that the server name or address is correct. If you specified the server name and it did not work, try specifying its IP address instead.
- Addresses are specified in dot notation as follows:
-
- value.value.value.value
- If this format works and specifying a server name does not, the server name is not being translated to the correct address.
- See your system administrator to verify that the remote host is responding and running a server implementation of FTP.
- You can use the FTP command line window for troubleshooting purposes. When you are using the FTP command line window, the command that you use depends upon whether you are performing a local operation (on the PC) or an FTP server operation.
