Newsletter Archives ]
The FTPplanet.com newsletter is sent out every other week.
Each issue is full of helpful FTP tips, FTP sites, product
reviews, and FTP-related news from FTPplanet.com.
Greetings,
In this issue's newsletter, we have:
- Connect failure - What does it mean?
- FTP Technical Guide
- WS_FTP Getting Started Tour
--> Connect failure - What does it mean?
If you receive a Connect failure message
that looks like this:
Finding Host www.ipswitch.com ...
Connecting to xxx.xx.x.xxx:xx
Connect failure
...there are a few things to check:
- Is the site you are connecting to an
FTP server? (In the example above, this
is the problem. The correct site would
be ftp.ipswitch.com)
- Is the address correct?
- Does your firewall allow your FTP
program to access the internet?
If the answer to the above three is yes,
then you may be running into a timeout
issue. If this is the case, try changing
the timeout value (in WS_FTP, found on
the advanced tab of a site's profile).
--> FTP Technical Guide
While a graphical user interface program
such as WS_FTP makes FTP'ing easy, there
are a lot of technical details going on
behind the scenes.
If you're interested in learning more about
these details, check out our FTP Technical
Guide, which covers:
- WinSock Programming (the WS in WS_FTP
stands for WinSock)
- FTP Protocol References
- RFC (Request For Comment) for FTP

--> WS_FTP Getting Started Tour
The WS_FTP Getting Started Tour is a nice
little animated tutorial that walks you
through the latest version of WS_FTP.
