[Solved] Trouble Connecting With Ftp To Tommy


nuk

Recommended Posts

Am I unable to connect to my account via FTP (to upload files to public_html) because there's an error with Tommy, or is it more likely a network mis-configuration on my end? FWIW, I had no trouble several years ago, so I think it's a little more than just user error. Then again, that was connecting to Stevie, not Tommy, and from a completely different home network as well.

 

Details of what I'm doing:

Using FileZilla (v3.24.0 on Win10) with the imported configurations available through cPanel, I've attempted to connect to my account on Tommy with both SFTP and FTP, but am getting an error I do not know how to resolve.

 

With SFTP:

Status:	Connecting to ftp.ukanuk.heliohost.org:1342...
Status:	Connected to ftp.ukanuk.heliohost.org
Status:	Retrieving directory listing...
Command:	pwd
Response:	Current directory is: "/home/ukanuk"
Error:	Failed to parse returned path.
Error:	Failed to retrieve directory listing

With FTP:

Status: Resolving address of ftp.ukanuk.heliohost.org

Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status: Initializing TLS...

Thank you, that did it! Looks like the documentation I was following here and in cPanel FTP Accounts Special FTP Accounts Configure FTP Client are out of date. I tried searching the forums for something like "Tommy FTP", as well, but didn't find that info.
