From what I know of ftp software, if you enter the user name and passwords correctly, and some of them want to know your home directory as well, if that's all correct, then ftp should open for transfer in seconds, not hours.
Verify your user name, be caREfuLL of CaPs because they matter.

Have a look at the email that your host sent you. They most likely told you what your host directory would be...something like public_html

Also...when did you sign up for the hosting plan? It can take up to 72 hours (not usually, but it can) for the domain name to work with the hosting site. Your instructions would most likely have included an IP address or other link so you could start to upload your site.

Don't wait 5 hours for it to connect. If you typed the info wrong the very first time, and told it to "remember your password", then it will be wrong every time.

www.mainsites.ca is my website, and yes, some of it is crappy.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
