*** SOLVED *** FTP session terminated. Why?

Post by CosmickGold »

I've never had a problem FTPing before, but today, I'm unable to upload from WB-16 to my website. The log reads:

*** START OF PUBLISH ***
Scanning publish folder...
Found 3 file(s).
Initializing FTP connection...
Checking host...
Host was successfully parsed.
Connecting to www.webviews.us...
Using PASV mode.
Succesfully connected.
Current directory is '/'
Uploading 'DreamLight.css'...
Successfully uploaded file.
Uploading 'DreamLight.html'...
Internet Exception Error 12111

Details:
The FTP session was terminated
Closing FTP connection...
Removing temporary files...
Publish failed!
*** END OF PUBLISH ***

I read at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... net-errors
that error 12111 means:
"The FTP operation was not completed because the session was aborted."
By whom? Why?
What is happening to "terminate" things?
Is this a problem at my computer, or at the website?
What should I do?

Did you try using Secure FTP options in the Publish dialog? Maybe check with your host what the recommended settings are? Maybe they changed?

Thanks Jerryco. It is working now. I don't know if it was your suggestions (which I then played around with), or if it was the server being upgraded.
At the least, you taught me about options I didn't know I had, which I found by clicking the "Edit" button.

Great, it always helps to seek options. Good luck.
