Help, I cannot connect to FTP

Being able to access your hosting account over FTP is very important to manage your website files. However, there are reason why you may have trouble connecting to the FTP service. This article explains a few things you can try to fix your FTP connection. Login to your control panel After your account has been created, or reactivated after a suspension, you may need to login to the hosting control panel once to enable FTP access to your account. You can login to the control panel by logging in…

Specifically, I suspect that you’re dealing with a funny router that’s breaking your FTP connection. Maybe you can fix this in your router settings, or maybe you’ll need to use a VPN to bypass it.

Thanks for your help. Now I have managed to transfer my webstie files from my local drive to the server. However, when I type in my website address in a browser to see, it looks funny. Some pictures are missing, text and pictures are not properly aligned, which is very different from the website that I open in my local drive. Please see the link below.

Do you know if I have done anything wrong?

[Admin]

I checked your site and it seems like a bunch of files are missing, notably the CSS files. When I check the Network tab in my browser, a lot of the Javascript files appear to be missing too (the URLs redirect to our 404 page).

Please try re-uploading the assets folder of your website, it’s possible that a number of files were not uploaded successfully.

Thanks for your tip. I have re-uploaded the assets folder of my website to the server. However, I notice two unusal things:

1. My website is not secure. How can I make it secure?
2. When I type in my website address directly into a browser, the layout is still not properly aligned with missing pictures and texts. However, when I type my business name in Google search bar and click the link to my business website, the website looks good. Do you know the reason? Do I need to do anything else to rectify it?

Are you sure you are looking at the same page? That is the only thing I can think of atm.

My website is not secure. How can I make it secure?

The page has valid SSL, so all you need to do is force redirects to HTTPS:

How to force all traffic to HTTPS

After you’ve enabled SSL for your website, you’ll probably want to redirect all traffic on your website to the https version of your site. There are multiple ways to do that. Let’s compare some commonly used ways. Using script configuration Some scripts (including Wordpress) have a setting which allows you to set your website URL. By changing this URL from http://example.com to https://example.com, the script will probably redirect visitors to the https version of your site. Even if your script…

Do I need to do anything else to rectify it?

Other than clearing your browser’s cache, I don’t think you need to do anything else for your website to show properly.

I am quite sure that I am looking at the same page. Please check the below links.

http://www.myproactiveaccounts.com/?i=1 (it comes from the direct typing of my website address in a browser)

Your website works perfectly on both links for me. You can notice the difference with regard to your “insecure” question however:

https:// myproactiveaccounts.com/ (it comes from Google search)
http:// www.myproactiveaccounts.com/?i=1 (it comes from the direct typing of my website address in a browser)

If you want all requests to be upgraded to HTTPS and be secure, you can check the article I linked in my post above.

As for the other issue, have you cleared your browser’s cache and tried again?
