I'm working on a site and trying to get in via FTP to upload the site, and although I'm sure I have the password correct I keep getting the 530 User cannot log in message. Admittedly I'm using a rather old build of CuteFTP, but it seems unlikely that is the problem. I've tried with the "master" FTP account and created another one as well, neither will work. I've tried on straight FTP and FTP TLS/SSL. I've tried PASV and PORT. Still no dice. The main domain name doesn't yet point to your servers so I'm using the "secondary FTP", is that the problem? If not, then what am I doing wrong? *** CuteFTP 6.0 - build May 24 2004 *** STATUS:> Getting listing ""... STATUS:> Resolving host name ftp.myersbro.w03.Winhost.com...

Looks like my problem was the build of CuteFTP was too old. I tried FileZilla and it worked. Oh well. Thanks anyway.
We had reports of other CuteFTP problems a while back. FileZilla solved those problems too. But there could be something causing older versions of CuteFTP and IIS 7 to not work well together. It's just hard to troubleshoot since there are about a million versions of cuteFTP...
