First time trying to upload, and I can't seem to connect through SmartFTP. I continue to get the message:

Connecting to (audio-uploads.archive.org) -> IP: 207.241.228.103 PORT: 21
Connected to (audio-uploads.archive.org) -> Time = 110ms

I have entered "audio-uploads.archive.org", thegreatgumbino@taperssection.com, and my password. I am clueless here. My email is a redirect, but I have tried using the true email, and no difference. I have closed Zone Alarm and turned of my XP fire wall and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Shoot, I think this is some kind of known bug where you run into problems if your email address is greater than 32 characs (check out how the last m is cut off on yours). Do you have a shorter email address <32 characters you could use to be a patron meanwhile? You can change the email address in your existing patron info at http://www.archive.org/account/login.php Sorry that's an ungraceful solution. :(

Hi,

I also am having this problem when trying to log in with FTP (log at end). However, the email address I'm using is less than 32 characters long. Any ideas? I used to be able to log on fine, but I've been away for a few months. The only major system change is I now have IE7, but I'm using CoreFTP, rather than the IE/Widows FTP system.

BINGO! Weird quirk. I don't remember finding anything in the forum on that. Thanks for the help Diana. I appreciate it.
