Connecting to Restored rootsweb hosted sites -
Posted: 26 Mar 2019 13:01
I wonder if anyone here with IT and FTP knowledge could help me please.
My website (in my signature) was restored by Rootsweb and I set up a new password.
Today for the first time, using Filezilla for FTP, I managed to get entry to the website using instructions found on line.
http://sites.rootsweb.com/~gearyfamily/ ... sites.html
The host is sftp://siteuser.rootsweb.com
Having got access, I renamed my old Wilcock tree. But I rejoiced to soon as I then failed to upload its replacement.
And now I cant get entry to the site. Connection is timed out every time.
Anyone who clicks the Wilcock tree on my site will (correctly) get an error message 404.
Is being timed out something one can alter? Is it dictated by one's browser or one's internet provider - in our case Plus net.
Is the problem with me or Rootsweb?
I have no idea what is going on. Is the advice to pay a subscription website as I know some people here do?
This is the repeated error message
Status: Connecting to siteuser.rootsweb.com...
Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=8
Command: open "wilcock@siteuser.rootsweb.com" 22
Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
