Need help setting Online League Setup Settings....

CLancaster22 · 07-13-2002, 03:51 PM

Whats up fellas?

I am having a problem configuring the online league settings for my league. I am using Geocities to host the website and here is what I have in the settings:

FTP Server Address: ftp.geocities.com
User Name: Chuckles1719802
Password: *** (three symbols)
Local Starting Directory: /OOBLRosters (What exactly does this mean? Where I want the files uploaded in my websites file directory??)
Port: 0 (What does this mean also?)

The error that I am getting is when I test the connection, it always says: "ERROR: The password was not allowed". Why am I getting this error? Also, do I have all those options set up right? I made a new folder in the websites file directory which is OOBLRosters.

Anyone have any help for me? Could it be cause my password isn't long enough?

you password "may" be too short. Many systems require a password to be from 5-8 characters long.

Nope, that wasn't it. I changed my password to 8 characters and it still said the same thing.

I am having the same problems. I can generate the reports but I cant send them to FTP because it said my password is incorrect.

I don't know if this is the issue or not, but some web sites don't support FTP use.

If Geocities continues to have those problems, try Tripod, I know they support FTP.
