在Visual Studio 2012中通过FTP访问网站

Question

I try to connect my website via ftp. I succeed connect the folders by my browser, but in visual studio 2012 I can connect the site just by the local address(10.100.101.100)and not by the remote address. I get this error when I try to connect in remote address:

unable to retrieve folder information from the server. can't connect to '(the remote ip address)' on port 21. Check the server name and proxy settings. If the settengs are correct, the server may be temporarily unavailable.

Answer 1

This question is six years old, but still someone might benefit from it. Once you open visual studio, in the start page, go to Open Website.

Then in the resulting dialog box select FTP Site.

In the fields, for "server" give the ip address of your website and not the name. for "Port", give 21. For the "directory", use the ip address and slash like this: "165.63.29.89/". And then use your username and password. You will have your website open and files listed.

Edit1 :If it doesn't work, do the same thing but use only "/" for the directory. It will work.

Edit2: If the connection is still not established, do the same thing with "Passive mode" selected.
