typed in correctly.
Make sure your FTP program is valid or
registered and hasn�t expired.
If your payment is overdue, you will have to
make a payment before you can have your FTP access back.
It is possible that the connection is down. Wait
and connect an hour later.
If everything fails, use the web based file
manager located at http://www.yourdomain.com:2088/scripts/fileman/fileman.cgi
