Is this possible

vicbarry

Just got in the ol eircom DSL. Now I have a website hosted on UTV but as Im on the eircom DSL I cant ftp to the UTV site. Is there any way around it. Appreciate any replies

Drapper

You can FTP to any site !!!!!! once you got an internet connection !!! TRY IT !!!

vicbarry

Not really, kinda. I have my site hosted on UTV webspace which I had when I signed up with them for their UTV dial up. Now Im using eircom and I cant access the UTV webspace. The UTV web space can only be accessed using a UTV line!!!

Drapper

Doyou have an FTP programe and address of site and password ?? Then you can access it from anywhere thats what FTP means FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL !!

vicbarry

Yup, tried it through internet explorer and Dreamweaver...no joy. It wont allow me because Im using an eircom number for my net access. If I went back to my UTV dial up and I can get in no problem.

Drapper you are wrong utv only allow access to their ftp from an ip address from the utv network

vicbarry you will probably have to move your site

Drapper

Ohhh IP detection server ....... jasus.......... MOVE QUICK

vicbarry

Thats what I thought all right. Id probably be better off paying for a hosting package anyway

Drapper

try http://www.icecentral.net/home/domains.php its cheap and good !!

vicbarry

will do. cheers

I think eircom is doing the same. I've move to IBB and I can no longer access the webspace from eircom. It says that I am not autorised to view the page. I guess I need to get an eircom line and get all my stuff off from there.

vicbarry

thing is utv didnt care how much you uploaded........eircom do!

don't know about the utv question but this works for your eircom space:

http://upload.eircom.net
login with your u/p

can only upload one file at a time so it's a pain but at least you can do it
**edit: just checked - they seem to have this url restricted now from non-eircom ip

vicbarry - try emailing utv support to see if they have a url you can access your space thru a browser
(you could tell them you're going abroad and need to upload files to your space while overseas!!!)

vicbarry

thats an idea thund3rbird dont think they'd buy it. Maybe a proxy might get around it!

if u just want a basic server for ur own site just get sumthin free like http://www.web1000.com
