Cyberduck Configuration

[HalBurt]

I am currently using a PowerMac G5, Mac OS X, v10.4.11, Cyberduck 3.0.2, and I have a question on how to configure Cyberduck to upload to AOL's FTP space. Here's what I have tried:

Protocol: FTP & SFTP
Username: my AOL screen name
Password: my AOL password
Port: AOL automatically inserts Port 21 for FTP and Port 22 for SFTP

Why am I unable to upload to my AOL FTP space using Cyberduck? I am able to upload individual files using AOL Keyword: My FTP Space.

Does Cyberduck connect, but you can't upload files, or does it fail to connect at all?

First thing's first, let's make absolute sure you're using the right settings. You can connect via FTP or SFTP, and you should be connecting to "members.aol.com". Here's a simple tutorial to verify the basics:

I'm sorry I didn't explain my problem better, but I cannot connect. That is my problem. Also, I realize after I posted that I neglected to include that I have members.aol.com listed as the Server.

It appears that I have mine configured as suggested in your link.

Do you have a firewall?

[HalBurt]

I have Mac OS X's firewall and my router's built-in firewall.

Are you allowing port 22 and 23 in both of those firewalls? Try turning off both firewalls and then try to connect... if it works, then we've narrowed down the problem to something with the firewall(s).

I have tried disabling both the Mac OS X and the Belkin router's firewalls, but to no avail. I'm still unable to connect.

That's strange... are you familiar with the Terminal? If so, we can try the good old-fashioned command-line ftp and see if that works.

Try this in the terminal:

ftp username@members.aol.com

...and then enter your password when connected (replace 'username' with your AOL username). If that connects, then it may be something with Cyberduck.

Another thing you can try is changing the connection mode from "active" to "passive" or vice-versa. Edit your saved connection in Cyberduck, and under "Connect mode:" select "passive" or "active" (try both).
