FTP access failed, unknown error

ftp://server[N].000webhost.com/home/[user]/

in Chrome: first time it asks for user/password, and gives

Error 601 (net::ERR_FTP_FAILED): Unknown Error

all next - shows only error

Midnight commander for Mac is also failing on my request

cd /#ftp:[user]:[password]@server[N].000webhost.com/home/[user]/

gives in output something like “Error: can’t create a directory on the host (or server?)…”.

Could you help how to connect FTP without specialized FTP applications - via browser or shell?

Shell works fine, so does login via browser. Try using your URL instead of the server name

[badkarmacore@localhost ~]$ ftp
