On Freund Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I've been wrestling with cpanel for a few days without success. It almost always times out, and when it doesn't it's really slow. In addition, every file I try to upload via FTP fails. I've tried several computers, but none worked. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
Byron Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Hopefully the stability and slowness will get better in the next few weeks as soon as the new server goes online. As far as the FTP, what kind of errors are you getting? Are you ftping this way: FTP-Target: ftp.your_domain.heliohost.org Username: cpanel username Password: cpanel password Directory: public_html/

Not sure exactly what was the error (I was using Total Commander as the FTP client - tends to hide quite a lot of the details), but after every file it would say that the upload failed, and all of the files I uploaded ended up with a zero size on the target (yes, I was using the settings you mentioned).
Byron Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I was able to FTP just a few seconds ago without any problem. Try it now and see if your able. Maybe it was just the high server load.

Wizard Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Perhaps it's your internet connection? Where are you located?
Byron Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I can't get cpanel to work right now either and that's because the server load is way up now. You might want to try again in an hour or two and make sure your not trying to upload too many files at once.
On Freund Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 Seems to be working now, let's hope it'll stay that way. I'm anxiously awaiting the new server...

There are two important differences between my successful and unsuccessful attempts: 1. The time of day - my successful attempt was in a time I would presume has less traffic, while my unsuccessful attempts were in rush hours. 2. I was using two different locations. I will get a chance to test this tomorrow, by trying from the unsuccessful location but at a dead hour.
On Freund Posted January 3, 2011 Author Posted January 3, 2011 Works like a charm from the "unsuccessful computer" now.
Guest Geoff Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 If you are connecting from work, your firewall might have blocked connection with heliohost, or imposed a timeout.
