How can we help you? This is problem with your host, or your ftp setup...and as you don't even mention the host, there is nothing we can do. :eek:

Try calling, email, IM, open help tickets and so on. Exhaust all means with the host. If you don't get responses in a reasonable timeframe, you know perhaps it's time to look for one that will.

I host my own site on DSL. Apache and ProFTPD. Was able to set up certain things. But yet a newbie by any standards.

I Connect to my site using cuteFTP and am able to see all files but when I try to download the above message crops up in the log and nothin more. :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Can't somebody elpppp.

No I won't give my site IP. Have had enuf problems by doing that already.

This error normally means that the file is locked in an editor or something like that. I would say the issue was on your side though....

In any case, I have to agree with NexDog.

I'm completely lost! Is this some kind of game that left hand is hosting right hand? I am serious, I read this thread three times and I got nothing at the end.

Both showing same old problem.

Then it looks like what Nexdog said. Try rebooting and retrying, or using another FTP client.

See not to offense you or anything. First, you told us that your host were ignoring you when you couldn't do what you want with your ftp thingy. And after several posts you told us that you actually host your own site. So then when NexDog answered your question, you came out with "is it my clients' fault".

Three three senerios combined together don't make sense to me. I am not trying to be arrogant, at all!

That's fine. I zip my mouth. Hope you solve the problem.

Try a different FTP program first.

I apologize but I still cannot make any sense of this issue.

I mean, in order to get help, without going away mad, you have to include as much detail as you can. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for anyone to help you.
