    FTP Filezilla wont connect

    I tried the FTP configure file from cPanel but it still fails to connect on Filezilla. I am using Mac. Here is the error:

    Status:      Resolving address of ftp.wengindustry.com

    Status:      Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".

     

    I am guessing I have to wait for the DNS to propagate? It's been 3'ish days already. This is a new account.

     

     

    Thanks.

    Hey there @Siphon880gd 

     

    Try using the IP address of your server for the Hostname. As long as you have the correct username/password/port number, it should connect with little to no issue that way.

    I didn't want to resort to that but oh wells - thank you. I'll just set it to the IP address and forget it lol.
