FTP Publishing - January 2010

This week, we have yet more reports of the chronically present old friend

ConnectException: Connection timed out.

for bloggers publishing by FTP.

So far, the reports of this problem seem to be associated with server space provided by Aruba.

If you are suffering from this problem, please provide diagnostic information:

• The blog BlogSpot URL (if applicable).
• When was the blog setup in Blogger? (If the blog was published immediately by FTP, say so).
• The blog domain URL.
• When was the blog setup for FTP publishing?
• The name of the server hosting company.
• The Blogger FTP server setting (name or IP address of the server), in use right now.
• What operating system, browser, and version of Java do you use?
• Where are you located, and what ISP do you connect through?

If you have other blogs that are not having a problem publishing, the same information may be relevant too. Remember, we're looking for a solution for your problem, so be generous, and precise.
