'Login Incorrect'?!!! No it isn't!!!

Further to my post of a few hours ago (c.f. 'ftp via plusnet connection only?', I am now at home and STILL having no luck connecting to (let alone uploading to) ftp.plus.net.
- I AM using my correct username*
- I AM using the correct password*
* I know this because the instructions state I should use the same credentials I use to access webmail. I am and I can access webmail fine.
I'm using 'LeapFTP' as my ftp client but I've allso tried dosFTP just to be sure. They both end up saying the same thing ('Login incorrect - connection attempt failed')
Any ideas, please?

No luck with that, Peter, but thanks anyway.
I note on my 'My Account - My Webspace' page it states, 'You can upload to your webspace 12 hours after signing up.' My Plusnet account only became active yesterday but, from the way it is phrased, I would have thought that statement meant '12 hours from the date you sign up' (i.e. therefore, in my case, several weeks ago!)
Why is nothing ever easy?

It might be that the scripts which set up ftp space etc haven't run yet.  One of the comms guys will likely clarify for you tomorrow.

I've given things a kick, can you give it 4 hours and try again later please.

That may not be necessarly true depending on your setup.
It should be just your ISP Username + that password.
I have numerous mailboxes, and people access their webmail as
Username: ISPUsername+MailboxName
Password: Mailbox Password
So in that instance what you've said there is not correct.
I assume you are actually entering your ISP username + password in and not the webmail password details if its different?

All seems to be working now, thanks Chris. I didn't wait the full 4 hours before giving it a try (typical bloody user! Never do what they're told!) but, wahtever you did seems to have done the trick.

Censored! It was only a 'blood' with a 'y' on the end! Cheesy

Thanks for letting me know, percussive maintenance tends to do the trick Wink
