Thanks, using FTP at the moment, possibly tried SFTP before , but didn't work , due to port.
I ll try SFTP shortly . I also created another plesk user (ubuntu - webmaster), so will use that instead I shouldn't be using owners username for transfer.. The changing password issue , I think was there before , its weird that it says incorrect old password, but I am using the password I have just logged in with an dI tried with typing in the notepad and pasting there.
I ll post the results.
