Hello, wondering if anyone can help... again, i have spiderwriter on 2 computers, both working fine for months... i recently reformatted the main desktop PC and am since having trouble with Spiderwriter FTP which i love...
Ive tested on my other PC and it connects fine so its not my webhost. I set up the connection as normal, exactly maching the laptop details obvioulsy, but when i connect it takes a very long while, and then displays the box saying im logged in which can be seen at <A HREF="http://users.igl.net/utdpool/ftpSS.jpg." TARGET=_blank>http://users.igl.net/utdpool/ftpSS.jpg.</A> When i click OK on the dlg box, i think before the remote folders were then displayed, now it just stays at a /
However all thats displayed in the remote view once connected is a / as you can see. I cannot move around my web server at all. I have tried uploading a file to this mysterious / and it just doesnt do it, ive tried directing to an exact remote file upon connection and oddly enough it displays a folder with whatever title that i specified in the remote view, but again i can perform no operations.
More often than not connecting or attempting to upload cause the FTP client to freeze and crash, a Ctrl Alt Del shutdown is the only way to end the program.
I guess the most confusing aspect of this is that this is a freshly formatted machine thats been using this FTP for months and before and after several other reformats and that the FTP works perfectly on the laptop ruling out my webhost as a problem... can anyone help?
Thanks, regards,
Mr S Barnes
