FTP Folder Error... Windows can not access this folder - Can't connect to FTP using domain name
I am having trouble with an FTP server. Whenever I try to access it via IE in active or passive mode I get the following error pop-up...."FTP Folder Error.... Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder."
If I access the ftp site using the direct IP address everthing works. FTP site answers and I am able to login and post files. It just doesn't work with the domain name. The text I am typing into IE address bar is.... ftp://xx.xx.xx.82 (works) or ftp://www.domain.com (no work)
About a month ago we broke out the website from the ftp site moving them to 2 servers each with its own permancent IP address. We use GoDaddy so we've configured two A records. One A record is for the www site and it points to IP address xx.xx.xx.84. The other A record for the ftp site points to xx.xx.xx.82. The domain name for both sites is the same.
If I try via the DOS command window using ftp xx.xx.xx.82 then I get the Connected msg and have the option to enter the user login. If I use ftp www.domain.com command after 30-45 seconds I get the following response.... "ftp: connect :unknow error number"
Appreciate any help with determining why the direct IP address works but the domain name does not.
