atrax27407 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Is WHTECH still down or has the address changed? I can't access the site at the usual address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 i kept getting a credential prompt for ftp://ftp.whtech.com, but i used http://ftp.whtech.com and i was able to get in. hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thanks! Slight change of address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lee Stewart Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thanks! Slight change of address. Actually, we have always been able to get in with the HTTP address. Do we know whether the FTP address has been permanently eliminated? ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 yes ftp is still not allowing anonymous logins.. I will ping Don and see if he has a plan for resolving it. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ok whtech DOES allow anonymous now BUT with no password.. browsers default to a email address password so you will be prompted with a username and password box, type anonymous in the username and nothing in the password to connect IF you are getting a timeout your ip has been blocked probably due to incorrect login creds repeatedly.. email support@lizardhill.com and let him know you think you are blocked to ftp.whtech.com he's pretty responsive Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXB Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Is this going to remain password protected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Is this going to remain password protected? It's not.. just enter a blank password and the anonymous username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonecool Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Tried with FileZilla (anonymous and blank password), but it says "could not connect to server". But, I can browse the site directly. I'd like to use an FTP Client to download stuff, is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+arcadeshopper Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 That worked, thank you! likely filezilla is using an outdated or incomplete ftp handshake.. winscp is better on many levels anyway and free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Maybe it assumes (per standard) that the anonymous login requires a mail address as a password. I tried it with the console ftp command, and also here, it only works for empty password. Normally, this is not an issue with giving a mail address, since you can provide any formally correct mail address (like me@somewhere.net). This is also the reason why Firefox fails to connect via ftp, only via http. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+helocast Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 likely filezilla is using an outdated or incomplete ftp handshake.. winscp is better on many levels anyway and free Sorry to be off topic, but what's the secret to using WinSCP? Having no luck ever downloading from WHTech with any FTP client, I downloaded and tried WinSCP, also with no luck. On the browser side, IE won't even let me see a directory structure and Chrome has its own problems (perhaps the absurd level I have my PC locked down, I don't know?). I'd just like to copy a few directories that interest me maybe twice per year which I would think would be less cost/traffic to the web owner than me crawling FTP via HTTP and grabbing docs with newer dates.

Sounds like you are blocked for pwd attempts Email support@lizardhill.com with your ip and ask for him to check the blacklist Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Don set me up an account for WHTech as well, so if anyone needs something moved, sorted, etc, and arcadeshopper isn't available, I can also help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
