Temporary uninstall your Antivirus and Software Firewall products. The built-in firewall from Windows does not make any problems.

okay did the temporary shutoff of Antivirus and firewall and Smart FTP is still not connecting. I also went to my website control panel and verified the login and password and I have it right.

DUUHHHHH I just figured it out by looking at the tutorials. I had to put in the login the name and @stenotome.com and that worked. Now I'm trying to figure out as the website owner, where do I go to access the files people send to me? Thank you for your help.
