Got it! I have been using the web number ( I don't know what its called but it is something like this 55.66.77.77 as my host name in my ftp client and has worked fine....I used the same in zz. I was looking through the zz manual again and saw that you used ftp.domain.com in your example of setting up the ftp in zz so I changed it and it immediately uploaded the test to my site....excellent! Thanks Kurt for your help!
