530 Login incorrect on FTP to homepages

After many years without problems I am getting a 530 error.
It first happened a couple of days ago and then rectified itself.
It's happening again now and I can get access to change any files on my website.
Anyone else had anything similar?
[edit] just tried after typing this and got access straight away.

I've just raised a problem to our networks team as I've seen a couple of similar threads recently over on the Usergroup forums and in Usenet.

The issue has been found and should be fixed pretty soon, it was caused by part of the data centre move work.

Re: 530 Login incorrect on FTP to homepages

Hi,
I am also experiencing this '530 login incorrect' problem. I have just been recently connected to plus.net.
Details i am using:
username        username@plusdsl.net (my plus net username substituted here)
password          my plus net password
ftp host              ftp.plus.net
port                    21
ftp client            wsftp le
I have raised a ticket with plus.net support but any assistance here so I could fix it sooner would be much appreciated.

Wrong username for ftp! It's the username only without the @plusdsl.net

Just tried logging in using the username without the @plusdsl.net, and I get the same 530 login incorrect error . . .

Nick,
Unfortunately your account doesn't come with any webspace which is why you're getting the authentication errors. Take a look at our sister company Pay As You Host if you're interested in webspace.
