Cannot connect

Question

When using the Demo.vb code supplied with the freeware, I am receiving the message

The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found

when creating the ftp object. Any ideas?

Answer 1

This error is most likely due to the DNS being unable to resolve the hostname. Check that your hostname is correct and your computer is able to resolve it (e.g. use 'nslookup <hostname>' from the command prompt). As a last resort, use the IP address instead of the hostname when you connect.

DNS is not resolving the hostname, but I have already tried the IP and get the same message. Any other thoughts?

Answer 7

I had the same issue. I was able to connect with command-line FTP, WS-FTP, but not edtFTP. Then I noticed I had included the ftp:// in the host name I was passing in for RemoteHost. Oops. I removed it and it works fine. Any chance you're doing that too?
