Setting up ftp access User Name or password not accepted

This is the first time I am attempting to access this. With my previous host I usde Dreamweaver's Site Management to do this. When I attempted this with the settings provided through Plus Net set-up pages I get a "cannot connect to FTP host" error.
I then tried I.E. and just got the log in box cycling with my user name highlighted and the pasword box blank.
I then downloaded "CuteFTP" and got the same problem.
The setting provided were:
FTP server: ftp.plus.net
Username: my user name
Password: Your account password
Sub-directory: htdocs (upload files to this folder)
Are the above correct or is there an authentication problem?
Grateful for any help.
Stuart

Account name is ftp://username@ftp.plus.net
Host ftp.plus.net
Login is username
Password is normal one
As a check I went into IE7 and the address is ftp://username@ftp.plus.net/htdocs/ which then generates a username and password box.
filling those in connects you to ftp://ftp.plus.net/htdocs

you could try ftp2.plus.net
if set to passive, try active mode in your FTP client.
If you have a software firewall try disabling it to se if that is blocking your connection. If it is you may need to configure it for FTP access.

There was a problem with authentication of my account, which was sorted quickly by PlusNet Tech team.
Thanks again.

I have working ftp clients on linux and windows machines which can connect to several sites.
I'm using:
host: ftp.plus.net
username: my user name (both with and without @plusdsl.net appended)
and my main account password.
I assume it should be port 21 but can't connect with this at all but it will connect if I use port 80 but still can't transfer files.
Any ideas?

I'll have a look from this end and see if there is anything obvious.

I can't upload so it just needs the correct permissions now.
