hi,

firstly sorry if this is in the wrong place or even the wrong forum (if so can you recommend one).

My problem.

I have installed exhibit engine image gallery 1.5 rc4 onto my home server.

I have ran the ftp tests and it tells me that php ftp is all installed.

Now i don't remember installing or configuring anything to do with ftp when i first created the server. I didn't have a need for ftp as i could just copy over the files over my network.

On running the test is fails at username and password for the ftp. My question is where do i set/change/check this. I have not knowingly set a localhost ftp user and pass.

my server details are

Server signature: Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) PHP/5.1.2 Server at www.digitalimaging-uk.co.uk Port 80
Server name: www.digitalimaging-uk.co.uk
Server protocol: HTTP/1.1
Http accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
Http accept encoding: gzip,deflate
MySQL version (reported by MySQL server): 5.0.18-nt
PHP version: 5.1.2

and the initial test in EE says

FTP

EE HAS DETERMINED THAT PHP FTP MODULE IS INSTALLED ON THIS SERVER.

FUNCTIONS: ftp_connect | ftp_login | ftp_pwd | ftp_cdup | ftp_chdir | ftp_exec | ftp_raw | ftp_mkdir | ftp_rmdir | ftp_chmod | ftp_alloc | ftp_nlist | ftp_rawlist | ftp_systype | ftp_pasv | ftp_get | ftp_fget | ftp_put | ftp_fput | ftp_size | ftp_mdtm | ftp_rename | ftp_delete | ftp_site | ftp_close | ftp_set_option | ftp_get_option | ftp_nb_fget | ftp_nb_get | ftp_nb_continue | ftp_nb_put | ftp_nb_fput | ftp_quit |

TO MAKE SURE PHP'S FTP INSTALLATION IS WORKING PLEASE DO ALL FTP TESTS ON FTP SERVER PAGE. SECURE FTP IS NOT YET SUPPORTED.

but when i run the test it says

FTP SERVER NAME: local
FTP SERVER: localhost
CONNECTION (ftp address): OK
LOGIN (username and password): FAILED Reason: ftp_login() [function.ftp-login]: Invalid userid/password
UPLOAD TEST IMAGE 'ee_test0.jpg': FAILED Reason: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: connection closed
GET 'ee_test0.jpg' SIZE: OK

now it will cause i haven't supplied it with a user and pass because i don't know where oor what it is.

can anyone help. I need this ftp link working now so that i can upload and transfer images to the galleries.

thanks,

dave

it ok fixed it..

I installed an ftp server manager and set the access in their then
my hardware firewall and software firewall got tied in knots.

but now it's working at least to the next stage.......
