Can connect OK but cant upload !

Post by Jaz »

Help pls. Until recently I had no problem connecting to and uploading to my personal webspace on tiscali. Then all of a sudden I cant. I can still connect, but when I try to upload, it is extremenly slow (painfully - and I am on broadband) usually a partial upload is succsessful before basically stopping and continuously re-trying. I tried with smartftp and get "connection lost" with the same result ie no upload, but I get no error messages on coreftp. Any ideas to resolve gratefully recieved.

Thanks for the quick reply and by the way thanks for the forum which has already been useful in helping me get a second PC working with some good advice. The problem is the same on different PC's so I guess that discounts them. I have firewall and connect through a router . Ive only tried one server, but its been the same for 3 days now so doubt low bandwidth. Im not totally PC illiterate but Ive run out of my area of competence now ! I have run 2 different adaware chekers / cleaners and a virus check with latest updates - nothing found. I have pasv on, connecting port 21 to ftp.myweb.tiscali.co.uk. Connect OK, just timesout when trying to upload. The problem started recently, up until then I have successfully uploaded multiple pages (upto 30Mb worth). I have pinged the tiscali ftp IP and it successfully responds.How do I check other servers ? Grateful for any further assistance.
