After reinstalling Dreamweaver, on a new install (Mac), I can no longer establish an ftp connection with my sites. (I’ve tried two) FTP Adress: [ftpupload.net](http://ftpupload.net) FTP-port: 21 Username: epiz\_25797093 Password: XXXXXXXXXXXX Root Directory: [BLANK] URL: [http://finnenven.epizy.com/](http://finnenven.epizy.com/) I get an error saying “The remote host actively refused the attempt to connect to it”. What am I doing wrong? The settings worked fine 5 days ago! ---

yeah I did read that but thought that maybe the ftpupload might have had an issue and was worth trying the epizy one, oh well ☹ have you tried another computer just to rule out the possibility of something odd going on with the mac ? ---

Under “Root Directory”, try typing `/htdocs`. And try “FTP over SSL/TLS” (Both options), and try unchecking “Passive FTP” (If the above does not work). ---

The “Remote certificate not trusted” message is weird. The log snippet shows that you are connected to the IP address of our FTP server and are using the hostname [ftpupload.net](http://ftpupload.net), which is the domain in the certificate our FTP server uses. My first thought is that this may be caused by a virus scanner or firewall or something like that “protecting” you by blocking access to our FTP server. If you have a virus scanner, could you please try disabling it? And could you try to connect over a VPN? [Next page](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/ftp-connection-with-dreamweaver/60161.md?page=2)
