FTP Client and Source code

[Melissa]

I just recieved my source code, and the email told me to go to FTP and gave me the information, maybe I am being ditzy, but when it says "User ID" does this mean my site name, my email address, or my 4 digit code? I am so at lost on this, I've tried it all and nothing is signing me in...

Thanks,
Melly

Thanks for the tip Scott! That was really useful.

Do you know if this is a known Filezilla issue? Looking at their issue tracker at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=21558 I couldnt find, it is probably a good idea to file a bug for that with detailed reproduction steps and a clear description of the problem,

Meanwhile, one thing that might be worth testing is to login using the non-email version of your username, one way to find out is to open your profile page, then look at the html source (Ctrl+U on firefox) and search for a line like this near the "Leave a comment" part:

<input id="xg_profiles_chatterwall_attachedTo" type="hidden" value="27c49xypcekbj" name="attachedTo"/>

The username is the value in red.

Melissa, try using 3eosm543c9zbc as your username.

I was able to utilize Transmit on OSX Leopard without any issues, here's the settings:

Regardless of your network, be sure to utilize sftp.ning.com as your URL, your email address as your username, password as password, and SFTP with Port 22.

I'm still having trouble connecting to the ftp with Filezilla. I'm using my user id instead of the email address for the username but I think that its a network problem. I keep getting

Error: Network error: Software caused connection abort
Error: Could not connect to server

winscp works fine so I'm going back to that, but I think that its strange that Filezilla doesn't work. If anyone gets filezilla working then could you let me know what the trick is? Thanks.

Hi Melissa,

My name is Annibal. I am medical doctor from Brazil and I wonder if you could help me out with this problem I am currently facing.
Yesterday I set up a new social network but somehow for some unknown reason I can't seem to find a way of going back to my network. I have tried to open it a dozen times and the screen in which I used to fill with my PIN number does not show up.
Do you know what should I do ????
I really appreaciatte if you or somebody else from NING could me help me out.
Instructions could also be sent to [e-mail] and/or to [e-mail]
Thank you so very much.
Annibal / Brazil / RIO

The port number, "22" should not be listed with the url. There is box specifically to put the port number "22" and then it should work

Okay, I am having the same problem with Filezilla, unfortunately. (I got my source code today, Mike! Thanks again.) And I thought I would let you all know. Perhaps it is a Filezilla issue. I am going to first try what Frabricio suggested and if that does not work, I'll try the winscp. I'll let you all know what works.

That was quick! Well, I tried finding my non email version of my username, and believe I was successful in doing so. Not sure though, so anyone that is having the same problem may want to try too. So then I downloaded WinSCP and am in. No idea what I am looking at. Haha This should be fun. Hope this helps!

Mike,

I am having the same problem Melissa is having. I followed the thread to your post and I am able to make a telnet connect on port 22 but connect do a file upload with Filezilla. Heres what I get:

Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Connecting to sftp.ning.com:22...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "[e-mail]@sftp.ning.com" 22
Error: Network error: Software caused connection abort
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to sftp.ning.com:22...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "[e-mail]@sftp.ning.com" 22

Status: Connecting to sftp.ning.com:22...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "[e-mail]@sftp.ning.com" 22
Error: Network error: Software caused connection abort

So, where to now?

I am getting the same problem using Filezilla, anyone knows the reason?

[Hedi]

Same settings, it used to connect but it doesn't anymore...

FTP access is long closed off. Use Webdav, there are tutorials on this site for connecting with Webdav.
