That is what I have been doing. It has no problem getting to the folder I select but then does not upload anything

I can ftp no problem to my site and even did once upload the test files...only I know a manual upload is not what's needed!

Like I said in my first post, I am uploading to Site 5 which I pay for and I imagine is what you mean by a 'real site'

I do appreciate the two indications of a problem with ftp. This was the conclusion I had come to. I had done many many tries over several days to make sure I wasn't making silly errors before I contacted you . I eventually came to the conclusion it must be something to do with hosting and thought perhaps zztuel only worked on free hosts - hence why I asked if anyone knew of a free host where it works. If this could solve the problem I would still be interested.

So to conclude, I can upload anything myself to this site, zztuel has no problem browsing there but nothing is uploaded.
