Updating website - originally Madasafish & Freenetname

dougle25 — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 09:50:11 GMT

I have been updating my website using terrapin software and have been publishing to it without a problem for a few years.

My old PC broke and having got a new one I haven't been able to get the correct settings needed to continue to publish.

I cant seen to get the right FTP server address ?

The only information I have found is from an old madasafish webpage and this doesn't work!

Many thanks in advance.

The server address should be www.users.freenetname.co.uk as far as I recall, however that is currently returning some odd DNS results for me

~$ host www.users.freenetname.co.uk www.users.freenetname.co.uk has address 0.0.0.0 www.users.freenetname.co.uk has IPv6 address ::

Try using ftp.freenetname.co.uk instead and see if that's any better.

Thanks for your help.

But the addresses do not work

Define 'do not work'? What actually happens when you try connecting?

The second address looks fine from here: -

~$ ftp ftp.freenetname.co.uk Connected to ftp.freenetname.co.uk. 220 ProFTPD Server [freenetname.co.uk]

No worries Dave, glad I could help.

The other address should work aswell to be honest, so I'll see if I can do some digging as to why it isn't.
