　　Hosts Fail to Connect the FTP
　　Generally，website owners often use FTP to build sites， and some larger files can be uploaded quickly with the help of FTP. However， FTP cannot be connected sometimes. Then，what are the main reasons ？
　　BlueHost is an well known brand of the United States， whose domestic access speed is also very fast， so it has won many users in China. The reasons why Bluehost can not connect to the FTP as follows：
　　1， The failure of FTP connection is caused by the incorrect user name or password. Many virtual hosting are forbidden to connect anonymously in order to ensure the security of servers ， so the username and password must be correct.
　　2， The domain name of BlueHost meets problems during resolution， so lead to the failure of FTP connection. That is because you need to fill in the domain name or IP address of the host during the FTP connection， if there is an error， the IP address will not be obtained and the FTP can not be connected.
　　3，BlueHost space has set up the firewall， resulting in the failure of the FTP connection. So users just need to shout down or reset the firewall， the FTP should be connected successfully.
　　4， The FTP is connected so frequently in a short time， which may cause restrictions by the host security ， so finally lead to the failure 。 At this time， what you have to do is waiting for a while to connect again.
　　5， The instability of host space may lead to the failure of FTP connection， and this situation basically occur in other hosts rather in BlueHost space.
　　What mentioned above are the reasons of the failure of FTP connection， along with solutions accordingly， and you can take these for reference as needed.

If your FTP progam is not connecting properly, here are some possible reasons:

1. Your firewall could be blocking it.
2. Make sure you have the IP address in your welcome email for host name (only the numbers don't add ftp, www or anything else).
3. Make sure your username and password are the same as your control panel username and password.
4. Some FTP programs require a path in order to connect. Your path would be /home/YOURUSERNAME/public_html

Incorrect Host/Server Name Please be sure to use the server name displayed in the Secure FTP section of the 1&1 Control Panel.

The most common FTP error is caused by the firewall, try shutting it down and see what happens.

Your FTP account may be locked, for more information, consult the article on FTP locking. All accounts are locked by default for security reasons.


Firstly, ensure that you are using a good FTP client - we recommend FileZilla, CuteFTP or SmartFTP. Some FTP clients make it very difficult to find the settings that you need to change.


Secondly, check your settings. These can be found in your Control Panel, but are typically:

• Server:- ftp.yourdomain.com (use ftp.stackcp.com if the domain is not registered/pointing to our servers)
• Username:- yourdomain.com
• Password:- your Control Panel password for that domain.
• Ports:- Default Depending on your FTP client's settings, you may have more options. Common ones include SFTP (which should be off), and Passive/Active transfers (which should be set to Passive).

Have you tried contacting their support? One thing to make sure, if your hosting provider is using a secure environment to connect to FTP. Make sure you are entering the port 22 while connecting to an FTP client.
