Do ya'll know the reasons why I'm getting "authentication failed" when trying to connect my FTP?
I'm getting this error when I run a test:
Connecting to probe.filezilla-project.org
Response: 220 FZ router and firewall tester ready
USER FileZilla
Response: 331 Give any password.
PASS 3.1.6
Response: 230 logged on.
Checking for correct external IP address
IP 192.168.1.100 bjc-bgi-b-baa
Response: 510 Mismatch. Your IP is 64.194.97.121, ge-bje-jh-bcb
Wrong external IP address
Connection closed
I don't know how my IP address got changed by itself. Weird.
That's normal. Most ISP's uses DHCP so often you will get a new ip every time you start your computer. If you are on Windows:
Go to start > run... type in cmd and hit enter
Then type:
ipconfig /renew all
That will give you a new IP if your computer is set up to use DHCP at least and if there are any free IP's available
Btw, what are you trying to do here? - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

Thanks all!
I finally got into my FTP FileZilla after my host helper did something. He's giving me these instructions but I'm still having trouble. I know this is simple, but I haven't done it before and I'm afraid I'll crash my stuff even worse.
"You will need to download the .htaccess file using FTP and edit it with something like notepad."
??? I can find the file in Filezilla but when I open it or edit it I get an error saying it couldn't be opened because no program has been associated on my system with this file type.
Lordy.
Prim, I accidently wrote something in my .htaccess code via extplorer in Joomla and it crashed both front and back end of my site. I can't get into joomla to undo what I did. I'm trying to fix that .htaccess file back to where it was so I can get back on my site and work on my original issue.

Open Notepad and then File > Open...
Locate the file and open it. Save it as UTF-8 NO BOM

<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
That is what came up when I opened .htaccess in Notepad. That's not the code I accidently put in .htaccess via extplorer, though. Is there more than one .htaccess file?
The .htaccess file WAS blank before I added "php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off" to it. - Last Edit: 16 years 6 months ago by Shannon Gamble.

Should look like something like this:

i don't think I'm finding the right .htaccess file. Where would it be? I did a file search and found one in My Documents > Owner > Desktop > phpbb3 but that doesn't go to the file I erroneously added the code to. I see other .htaccess files but don't think they are right either.
I can't find the right .htaccess file on my computer.

I contacted my host (Rochen) yesterday and a guy over there ended up going in and repairing that file for me. So I'm back up and running again after being down all day yesterday. He also added the file I needed to fix my magic quotes problem.
But THANK YOU ALL for your help and quick responses!!! - Last Edit: 16 years 6 months ago by Shannon Gamble.
