I could be wrong but I think it is a timeout error. There could be something up with your host.

Well, for a start Spaceports sucks! It is probably something to do with them.

log-gateway ready

the log of the ftp client states that

the gateway ftp proxy is ready
open eable.galileo.spaceports.com

so my firewall is not the problem
think i wil try a new ftp client

neopages sounds great. suspended new apps from 27th and i need a site up somewhere to apply. thanx for the suggestion though. wil try to host there
