Still no luck with ftp://upload.ntlworld.com

I can't get there with the URL you've given

But that's only cos you then need to Login (using the Login Box
on the File Menu) with your UserName & PassWord...

... but I get there using the one I have always used:-

ftp://user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Which is exactly the same as the one Splodge is using, except that
the URL you use includes the UserName

user being your username, the bit that comes before @ntlworld.com
in your primary email address

But she doesn't get to the point where she *can* (or is asked to)
Enter her UserName!
:-(

Before it will open the folder you need to give your password.

But you only get to the point where you need the PassWord *after* the
UserName has been Entered!!!
& she doesn't get that far!
:-(

Pam, I just tried it using
ftp://ilove.chocolate/upload.ntlworld.com
and got an error message back.

& *what* Error Message did you get?

That won't work.
Cos you can't have a Slash "/" as part of the Host (Server) Name.
You would have got something like "Cannot find server or DNS Error"

... I assume I wasn't meant to type the "@" after my user name?

You *do* actually need the "@"!!!

That tells the URL thingy that what you are Entering is the UserName
for that Server (& not part of the Server Name)

If you want to use a URL of that form, with your UserName, then
you would use:

ftp://ilove.chocolate@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

an error message is normal..

But it depends *what* the Error Message is!!!

With the wrong *Server* Name (as in the one Spladge says she tried
above), she will get an "Unable to Find Server" Error & not the one
which she should be getting, so as to Log in.

... Just go to file/ login as and fill in your details.

Exactly!
But you don't get the Login Option in the File Menu, until it *has*
actually established a Connection & is waiting for Authentication.

That's her prob - she isn't getting as far as that.

So we need to find out *what* is stopping it from getting to that stage.
