Problems when connecting to a ftp server

[Chuck Reti]

[Martin Del Rio] “The client gave me this URL:

ftp3.fabriclabs.com

I enter that URL and all that I get after a long wait is this error message:

Safari can’t open the page “https://ftp3.fabriclabs.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.”

You are trying to enter the FTP site using HTTP protocol.
the full URL should be “ftp://ftp3.fabriclabs.com/”

The site appears to require entry of user/password information, which should also have been provided to you by your client.

You may also want to consider using a dedicated FTP client application, such as CyberDuck, Fetch, Transmit, Captain FTP and many others. A search at VersionTracker or MacUpdate will serve up a long list of shareware, freeware and commercial solutions.

Hi Chuck:

Thank you very much for your response. I solved the problem, I’m using FireFTP to connect to the server and I entered the logging name and password form there.

You are right, it is a lot better if I use a dedicated FTP client application.

Thank you very much for your help,

Martin
