ftp.whtech.com access denied?

[firebottle]

Usually you can enter nothing at all for a password.

 

Now I just get "access denied" no matter what is entered.

 

Did something change in the last few weeks?

http://ftp.whtech.com

Doesn't ask me for anything. I just get in.

Okay, that doesn't work for me. It says "Loading..." and it doesn't respond (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT).

Tried FileZilla. Anonymous FTP logon used to work. Password seems to be required (guess I also used to pass an empty string).

spellcheck: whetch >>whtech

 

But trying ftp://ftp.whtech.com asked for password again in a second popup, which failed with a 530 error Log in incorrect. Site must need a refresh?

It's changed, I let him know there's a problem

 

in the meantime use http

http://ftp.whtech.com/ works for me.

The http URI connects to the HTTP server (port 80), while the ftp URI connects to the FTP server at port 20/21, so the issue is probably with the FTP server only.

Ok I heard back from Don and he says "the latest ftp server software has a bug use http in the meantime"

If not, you may have to try http.client. WHtech's http server seems to be configured to deliver the directory content when you use a URL that points to a directory, so you should be able to load that page and parse it.

yea that's what I figured i would need to do.  So i pounded out the code to pull the site and parse for the latest version.  Working good on windows OS so far.

... never fails!

Yes, but this is HTTP(S), which requires a HTTP client, and not the ftplib.

Ftp is still broken Don has offered to add an account if you really need to FTP..
