Front Page Error Message 425

External Since: Apr 20, 2007 Posts: 23

Appreciate your continued help. It seems though that we resolve one problem
only to encounter the next one. We followed your instructions and when Front
Page was processing the Web updates, the following error message appeared:

"Could not find a webserver at 'snorkelpark.com' on port 21. Please check to
make sure that the Web server name is valid and your proxy settings are set
correctly. If you are sure that everything is correct, the Web server may be
temporariloy out of service."

We tried a couple of hours later and the same message appeared again. We
then called Go Daddy and they ensured us that there was nothing wrong on
their part.

Please advise.

You have to use a 3rd Party FTP application, as FP can not connect to all FTP servers.
