No ftp connecitons

[ihafro]

Hello,

I recently have been unable to connect to my MOSX machine via ftp. This was a feature that was working fine up until about two weeks ago. The Sharing panel has the "Allow FTP connections" option checked. I have even tried restarting the machine to no avail. As a side-note, the Apache side is working flawlessly (both from localhost, IntraNet, and outside networks).

I don't know, maybe I'm typing the thing in wrong.

The web address (still in testing w/ only a placeholder) is
<http://www.takefiveconsulting.com>

<http://www.takefiveconsulting.com/~ihafro>
is one of the user accounts (only a directory right now) that I am trying to FTP into by typing

<ftp://ftp.takefiveconsulting.com/ihafro>
Any ideas. Am I typing the URL correctly (hey, you never know!), etc, etc.

From poking around with nslookup, I noticed that those two address you gave seem to be different comptuers (or at the very least, different IPs, if you have multihoming set up).

www.takefiveconsulting.com is 24.17.2.229
ftp.takefiveconsulting.com is 24.14.2.229

Have you tried:

ftp://www.takefiveconsulting.com/ instead of ftp://ftp.takefiveconsulting.com

The ftp address does not respond to pings at all.
