FTP Troubleshooting Guide

Too long? - Basically: if you are using the correct password and username and you still get FTP client errors, it is likely there are FTP node issues - simply wait it out. You can confirm this by using the files.000webhost.com file manager if you get “Log in details not correct” and you are 100% sure you’ve got the correct username and password - this indicates there are FTP node issues - there is nothing to do apart from waiting sadly be it hours or days. Thank you. While you shouldn’t have to…

So I have checked our FTP systems and they all appear to be in working order and responding to my requests with no issues at all.

I have checked your actual FTP account and it connects fine for me via files.000webhost.com in the browser.com and via FileZilla FTP client.

I have checked from my own network and a third party network in Germany and both checks respond OK for me.

I would think there a local network issue between yourself and our servers or a temporary timeout possibly.

I would advise in this order

1. Toggle FTP OFF then ON.
2. Change FTP / Website Password
3. Try using a PROXY or VPN (https://windscribe.com )
4. Use alternative DNS to rule out any kind of local routing issue of your network administrator / ISP.
5. Reboot / Power cycle your router if possible to gain hopefully a new Dynamic IP address if you are able to

After these steps if you are still facing issues I can only recommend creating a new website to see if this allows a connection if it does, then possibly there may be some sort of limiting on your IP address and the original website FTP which I can ask developers to look into but there would be no ETA, likely a week or more for this.
