Re: [ jEdit-users ] ftp usage

[Jarvis, B. <Bob...@si...>]

According to this answer at StackOverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/a/46288849/213136 - an UnknownHostException means that the host name isn’t being resolved to an IP, so it’s a name resolution issue rather than a password issue. Can you ping sm3.siteground.biz from the command line? You might try using the IP of the server  instead of the name – so ftp://englis69@12.34.56.78:21/staging/2/templates/beez where 12.34.56.78 is the IP of sm3.siteground.biz. If you can get in that way you might try adding an entry for sm3.siteground.biz to your hosts file.

Subject: [ jEdit-users ] ftp usage

I'm having difficulty logging on to my web host's ftp server. jEdit keeps returning this error msg:

ftp://englis69@sm3.siteground.biz:21/staging/2/templates/beez_20<ftp://englis69@sm3.siteground.biz:21/staging/2/templates/beez_20>:
Cannot list directory: java.net.UnknownHostException: sm3.siteground.biz<http://sm3.siteground.biz>

The FTP plugin is up-to-date.
The puzzling thing about all this is that it is of very recent origin, occuring just a few days ago.

 I can login OK to the cpanel app on my website's server which uses the same password as FTP.
I'd be grateful for any help.

 best regards

 Roy
