My FTP Quit Working

Here's the error, I have not been able to connect in two days.

CODE

Command:    USER houdini
Response:    331 User houdini OK. Password required
Command:    PASS ********
Response:    530 Authentication failed, sorry

I went and even added a new account in the cPanel and it says I have an account, that one did not work either. I tried all that stuff with every account that I have and the same result, my phpMyAdmin works OK but I edit files with an ftp application built into my editor, those setting are correct so then I tried to use my regular FTP client I have even tried to use the browser with no success, is the FTP server broke? Here's the pic of trying to use the browser and the error that I got there. I had to use file manager to upload this file. IPB Image

Just hold on for a while - am looking into it. Funny thing is I cannot find anything wrong with your account. If I can't fix it, then we've to fall back to good old OpaQue

That is what I posted to the site for everything except for FTP works, it simply acts like my password is invalid so the reason for creating another account it comes up with a 421 error ("Unable to set up a secure anonymous FTP"). So even though I am using the same password and all that I have always it simply acts like my account is wrong.

hmm try using this formula and paste it to the address bar:

ftp://yourusername:yourpassword@yourdomain.astahost.com

that should work.

Just returns to the 421 error, will not connect, then with my FTP client it throws 530 Authentication failed, sorry It's like my password is being refused, do I need to have it reset and emailed to me, cause I simply can just use the file manager to deal with my site especially if I am uploading a whole folder.

This has happened to me a lot of times. As far as I know, that me ans that you cannot connect to the host if you are 'anonymous'. I connect through Total Commander and there is a check button for anonymous connection. Try connecting by using TC without checking that function. Always works for me

I fixed it I had to use ftp.mysubdomain.astahost.com with my username and password and it came right up. If this happens to anyone esle use ftp.yourdomain.astahost.com to connect with your username and password.

Now back to business why did the ftp astahost.com used to work and now I am having to use my domain, I have not really changed anything except by OS which crashed (maybe it was always that way) Must be another operator error, well I am back to FTP so it doesn't matter.

It's a bit weird... If you are using a FTP manger, then it should be smart enough to put 'ftp.' by itself. When using Total Commander I simply type in 'mysubdomain.astahost.com' and it works.

This is happening to me too. I'm going to submit a support ticket and try to get this issue sorted, i am trying to set up a mini site for my friend and his ftp access isn't working (subsubdomain.subdomain.astahost.com), and this issue is really starting to get urgent
