    can't get ftp access to work

    Your free hosting seems to be great, even after only a few days of testing. I am even considering moving my own domain over to you and choose a paid account.
    But I can't get ftp access to work. I use filezilla and tried manual configuration and your xml files.
    I tried normal ftp and sftp. I tried creating new ftp account, simple short passwords.
    No matter what I do I get something like:
    Status: Connecting to ***.elementfx.com...
    Response: fzSftp started
    Command: open "joedoe@***.elementfx.com" 22
    Command: Pass: ******
    Error: Authentication failed.
    Error: Critical error
    Error: Could not connect to server
    My ISP does allow all protocols, I have no problem with access to other ftp sites.

    Any help appreciated.
    Mike

    Thanks, that works.
    So does that mean SFTP is not possible?

    Hello,

    SFTP uses SSH, which is not supported on free hosting.

    Ah, now that explains it.
    (Yep, I read through TOS and other stuff, but have not spotted that detail, or simply overlooked because of the mass of info)
