_Beep boop, I’m a bot! I dug through the forum to get you started. I sometimes get things wrong though, so do with this what you will until a human has a look._ I don’t think `ftpupload.net` is outdated. The article on FTP connection problems says `ftp.epizy.com` is an alternative hostname you can use when your network interferes with `ftpupload.net`. It’s a workaround, not a replacement. A staff answer in an older topic says the two hostnames point to the same server, and that some ISPs or network admins block `ftpupload.net`. The article also describes one case in detail. Some providers, like BT and Plusnet in the UK, block DNS lookups for `ftpupload.net`. You can check whether that’s happening to you in your FTP client’s log. If you use [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client), a working connection shows a line like this: ```txt Connecting to 185.27.134.11:21... ``` If the log shows a different IP address, your network is intercepting the lookup. Using `ftp.epizy.com` or the IP address `185.27.134.11` gets around it. Here is the article: > [@Help, I cannot connect to FTP](https://forum.infinityfree.com/docs?topic=49307): > > 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… So if `ftp.epizy.com` works for you and `ftpupload.net` doesn’t, I think your network is blocking the second one. Could you check the log line above, or post the full FTP log, so we can confirm? The article links to a guide on getting the full log from [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/ftp-hostname-outdated/121353)._
