Freesound Forums

I've tried accessing the FTP server with the command-line FTP client (Linux, Kubuntu), the Java applet, and even Firefox's built-in FTP support. All have failed. Here's what it says:

sheeettin@sheeettin-kubuntu:~$ ftp freesound.iua.upf.edu

very strange...

could you try resetting your password to something simper and try again:

http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/forum/profile.php?mode=editprofile

if that doesn't help, let me know your pass/login at freesound@iua.upf.edu and I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong...

Strange...
Changed my password to something simpler, and I was able to log in.
Changed it back (to the complicated one), and I was still able to log in... via the exact same process as I tried before!
Extremely odd, especially since I reset my password once before posting here...

Well, thanks for the help anyway.

Hi lads...
I'm new to this site and I too am having problems trying to submit my first upload.
Exactly the same problem as the original poster of this thread, plus I also found someone else with the same problem on this thread:-
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2308

Anyway...here's what's happening:-
I first had a problem with the applet, but I worked out that I needed Java. I installed it and got through, but when I try to connect, I get told my password is incorrect. Here's a brief report:-
USER ******
331 User Mart[1001] OK. Password required
PASS ******
530 Login authentication failed
QUIT
221-Goodbye. You uploaded 0 and downloaded 0 kbytes.
221 Logout.
Disconnected from server freesound.iua.upf.edu

Now I'm using the same password as I do to log in, and I am typing correctly. One thing I notice though is...if you look at my password, it says that there are six characters...however, my password is only five characters, so that is probably where things are going wrong.
For some reason, it seems the applet is adding a character to my password.
Can anyone help ?

ps...I did try changing my password in profile as suggested above...but to no avail, I have since changed my password back to original.

Mart[1001],

could you try another FTP application like filezilla (pc) or cyberduck (mac) and see if that helps?

Anyway....here's what I did. I installed FileZilla and it all looked self explanatory, so I copied the ftp address(ftp://freesound.iua.upf.edu/), into the host field...my user name into the username field, and my password into the password field. Clicked 'Quick connect'...and this is what I got:-
Response: 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------
Response: 220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
blah blah blah
Command: USER Mart[1001]
Response: 331 User Mart[1001] OK. Password required
Command: PASS *****
Response: 530 Login authentication failed
Error: Could not connect to server

Is there anything I can do in the options of FileZilla ?
Could there be a problem with my user name contain [1001] ? Obviously, I can't change this to find out.
I've tried changing my password, many times now, in hope that it might cure something.
I've tried using both the applet and FileZilla with my AVG exited, and my firewall disarmed.

Things that seem to go flawlessly for others...always seem to go wrong for me. :evil: :wink:
Only joking....any idea lads ?

it's probably your username...
our FTP server does not like all special characters...
I thought it would like [ and ] but... perhaps not.

let's see if we can change your username to something else and see if that helps.

send me an email via the contact form about what you would like to be called

Ok, thanks Bram.
The name change worked and I've just uploaded my first sound using the applet(not FileZilla). :wink:

I am expirencing the exact same problemas described above, I have changed my password tried fileZilla but no sucsess and I don't see what special characters in my name could be causeing a problem.
and I have changed my password to one with no special characters or uppercase letters.
Still the same:

hey guys,

aparently there were some more problems. I've restarted the ftp server and now I can log in fine.
Could you give it another go?

- Bram

works perfectly now thanks
