I am using SmartFTP but it will not connect to the site here. I am using my username and password. This is what it keeps saying:
Resolving host name "ftp://ftp.itek.trap17.com/" [16:52:49] Unable to resolve host name. [16:52:49] Active Help: http://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/81 [16:52:49] Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)... What am I doing wrong here? |

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.  Group: [MODERATOR] Posts: 3,882 Joined: 24-July 05 From: In Trouble Again... still? Member No.: 9,787  |
How new is your account? It takes time to propagate domain names.
Look in the tutorial Forum for a Mod to your HOSTS file to speed up the linking. You will need to have the trap17 IP address to alter the HOST look-up. |

It should read "ftp://itek.trap17.com" or "ftp.itek.trap17.com" With having ftp://ftp.itek.trap17.com, The FTP client is looking for a ftp site under the subdomain "ftp.itek.trap17.com" Hope this helps |
