How to Troubleshoot FTP IssuesIn Feburary 2016 25,

In Feburary 2016 25,
Type the FTP server, your username and password into the appropriate fields to double check that you have not made any typing errors. Click the 'Connect' button or press 'Enter' to try once more.
Verify your FTP server address if you cannot make a connection. Some servers require you to type 'ftp.domain.com,' where 'domain.com' is the actual domain name. Other servers do not require the subdomain 'ftp.' Try both variations.
Add the domain name to your username. For example 'yourusename@domain.com' may work while simply 'yourusername' will not ('yourusername' and 'domain.com' are stand-ins for the actual values).
Download and install another FTP client, such as FileZilla or CuteFTP. Enter your server information and credentials to see if the new program can establish a connection.
Disable the Windows firewall, if it is enabled. Open the Start Menu and type 'Firewall' into the search box to bring up the Windows Firewall option. Click the 'Firewall' link and click 'Turn Windows Firewall On or Off.' Enter your password if prompted and click 'Turn off Windows Firewall' under each network connection before clicking 'OK.'

How to Access an FTP From an iPhoneIn Feburary 2016 10,

In Feburary 2016 10,
Go to the iTunes App Store and download FTP On The Go. At the time of this writing the cost is $6.99. Install the app.
Tap 'Skip' to skip the tutorial when you first run FTP On The Go, since you're following this tutorial.
Enter the address, username and password for your FTP server. The format for the address is usually something like 'ftp.domain.com,' but may be different. Check with your web host for the correct address.Entering the port and path is optional.Tap 'Connect' when you're ready. Hitting the plus sign will allow you to bookmark your ftp credentials and add more FTP servers.
Hit 'Yes, Connect' if a message pops up saying that your connection is not secure. This screen will show what files are on your FTP.
At the bottom of the FTP window are several controls. The icon on the left lets you Refresh the page. The middle icon allows you to Sort by Name, Size or Date. The icon on the far right allows you to do all sorts of ftp commands such as Delete All Files, Upload a Picture, Create a File and Create a Directory.
Select a file by tapping on it and you will see a Green and a Blue arrow pop up next to it. You will also notice that the down arrow icon at the bottom that was once grayed out is now active. Tapping that icon will allow you to save the file to your iPhone. To view the files that are saved to your iPhone, tap 'Saved Files' at the very bottom.
Tap the blue arrow. This will allow you to choose to Delete the file, Rename the file, Move the File or change the Permissions. The Permissions editor works just like a regular Unix/Linux CHMOD command.
Tap 'Edit' and this will open the selected file on your iPhone so you can edit it. It will also save the file to your iPhone, so if it already exists in Saved Files it may give you a warning to see if you want to replace it. In the editing window you can tap on the text to open the iPhone keyboard and start typing away. The buttons on the bottom also allow you to change the Encoding of the file, Find/Replace text or 'Go To' a specific line number in the code. Once you're done with your edits, hit 'Save.'
Tap 'Web View' at the very bottom to preview your files with the built-in web browser.
The browser works just like any other web browser; just type the URL and go. However, if you tap the down arrow icon in the top right it will activate a special function that allows you to save any link you touch to the 'Saved Files' on your iPhone.

How to Transfer Files Between Two FTP ServersIn Feburary 2016 07,

In Feburary 2016 07,
Open your FTP program.
Connect to the server hosting your file. Log in with your username and password.
Find the file you want to transfer. Make note of its location.
Connect and log in to the receiving server. Make sure you haven't broken your connection to the first server.
Find the folder in which you want the file to be located on the receiving server.
Open the FTP client's options and make sure it has FXP enabled. Many FTP programs will keep FXP disabled by default due to security reasons.
Drag and drop the file from the sending server to the receiving server. The transfer should begin.
Log out from both servers. The transfer will finish in the background.
