Hi there,
I am hoping that someone could help me out here.
I use SmartFTP to upload my website files to lycos at two different locations.
During the last few days, I've been trying to connect to Lycos and was always getting an Access Denied message when the password was being validated (I think).
Now this connection was being made from home on my laptop where I have ZoneAlarm installed. The configuration here is:
Laptop, PC and ADSL modem all connected to a hub. If I ping the Lycos IP address, I get a reply, but I'm not sure what that proves.
Now, at work today, I used the same laptop, connected to the work LAN and I was able to make a connection to the Lycos FTP server. The only thing different, apart from the work LAN, is that I did not have ZoneAlarm ON. What confuses me is that here at home, I had turned ZA OFF and still couldn't make a connection.
COuld ZA be blocking my access and if so, how could I configure it so that it allows access. I've checked the settings in ZA and made sure that SmartFTP can access the internet.
Upfront, thanks a lot for your time and help.
Cheers
