I cannot upload anymore my website using the FTP of Freeway Pro 6. I have inmotion hosting and the guys told me that it is not caused by their server. I used Cyberduck and it functions. Any idea why Freeway FTP upload doesn’t function anymore? I use Mac X Mavericks. Thank you
loannis, I have found Freeway tech support to be very helpful. They helped me through a difficult, several-months-long upgrade and rewrite of my website when upgrading from Fwy 3.5/4 to Fwy 6. Give them a try if this forum hasn’t been able to resolve your issue.
I just tried to upload one of my sites to MacHighway and receive an error message “Cannot complete upload because of an operation time out. [421 Sorry, cleartext sessions are not accepted on this server.]” This is the first imd I have seen this error message when trying to upload with Freeway.
I have submitted a support ticket to MacHighway, but not I figure that it may not be their issue.
Jim Feeney, thanks for your advice. I send also a notification requesting help to Freeway support and now I am wiating for their reply. I will let you know.
This is actually a great error message to see. FTP is inherently insecure – the password and login are sent as plain text over the wire, and anyone with access to your local network, or your ISP’s network (or if you’re on a shared server, your server) can read that password plain as day. I’ve been using SFTP (secure FTP – basically FTP tunneled through SSH) and hosts that prefer it for nearly ten years now, and have never looked back. If I encounter a hosting provider that doesn’t offer SFTP, I move on. So it’s really quite nice and helpful of MacHighway to nudge you along to the path of truth.
Switch to SFTP in Freeway and your issue should go away.
