Upload from outwith Plus Net network?

[#1]

I am going to be away from home but still have a requirement to upload files to my Plus Net webspace. I can connect and read using FTP on a different broadband connection but I cannot upload. Is this doable or is it just not an option? I may need to find another provider if this is not an option.

[#2]

what ftp client are you using?

[#3]

As long as you are on a paid account you should be able to use the ftp.plus.net address and upload to your webspace from any location. Unfortunately you can't upload to ccgi.plus.net from outside the Plusnet network.

[#4]

Can you telnet to ccgi from outside the PN network?

[#5]

TBH, I'm not sure. It's possible that you can telnet to it from outside the network but I'm pretty sure it won't authenticate you.

[#6]

Was just wondering if you could ftp stuff to homepages, then use something like wget to grab a copy onto your ccgi box.
Just thinking laterally - I suspect its not an option though.

No route to host from outside the PN network for me.

ftp from command prompt, FileZilla and CuteFTP. All the same.

I'm paying £15 a month for Plus net. Does this constitute a paid account? I can connect using ftp.plus.net and browse the directories but it appears to be read only. I cannot upload any images for example.

[#10]

Are you having any issues from your PN connection when trying the same?
Are you uploading files inside the htdocs folder?
I could try uploading a small file from here to test if you would like?

[#11]

No issues when I try in on the PN network from home - it works fine. I am trying to upload to a sub folder inside htdocs.
The error message I get just now from work is '550 Security server forbids that action on this file' using ftp from the cmd prompt. I can log in and browse but I get this as soon as I try to send a sample .jpg file. Is this something on my corporate network on PN network?

When away, are you on a company network using Windows Small Business Server 2003 with ISA Server 2004 firewall?
If so, by default it sets FTP connections as read-only so you can see files but not upload/change any. You would need to contact the admin of the server to configure ISA to allow uploading.
Any connection to the ccgi server (telnet/ssh/ftp) is only allowed from a PN IP.
Could you perhaps remote into your PC at home and upload from there?

That sounds like the issue then. If it is a work server issue then I will try and find another connection when I am away or remote onto my home pc and work that way. Thanks for the info, at least I know it isn't a PN issue then.
