Hi this may sound silly but honestly it should be a simple fix but can't figure out why this isn't working.
I have just setup an FTP account on Serv-U application and on testing, I am getting the following error:
**530 ftp is not allowed for this user account**
No logs anywhere, reset account password - same issue, my IP is allowed still same issue. Anyone come across this before?
OK silly me :), I managed to fix the problem. Basically if you using Serv-U as your FTP/FTPS/SFTP 3rd party application, then you run into this issue in future, go through the following steps to fix the problem:
- Open the properties of the affected account
- Click on Limits & Settings tab
- Locate the section 'Allow FTP and FTPS connections' and ensure the value is set to 'Yes'
There you are, issue fixed. Sorry for taking your time, i should have known this.

I've been using Bitbucket for 2 years on my Macbook. Today I went to view one of my depots but I am getting the error message, Your connection is not secure. All other sites works, it's only Bitbucket.org that is giving me this error. I've tried using Safari and Firefox, neither work. I also can not connect using SourceTree. I am able to connect on my Windows computer so that rules out my router. I've deleted all expired certificates in Keychain and deleted cookies and cache. Does anyone know what the issue might be?
The Macbook's clock is set automatically and is displaying the correct time. In Firefox, when the website fails to load, I can see these 3 messages by clicking the Advance button,
bitbucket.org uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for search.dnsadvantage.com
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN.
If I click on the last error, it opens another page which displays, https://bitbucket.org/ Unable to communicate securely with peer: requested domain name does not match the server's certificate. HTTP Strict Transport Security: true HTTP Public Key Pinning: false.
Is there somewhere else I need to go to locate more information about the error?
Looks like you've picked up a virus and/or malware:

That link is for Windows machines so maybe check this for Macbook?:

Note I don't vouch for above links but first ones that came up when I Googled for "search.dnsadvantage.com". Seems a common problem.
I'm trying to log into my FTP account through Notepad++ but I cant get it to connect for the life of me. I know the password and hostname are correct because it works fine in filezilla.
I get the following info in the output:
-> TYPE I
Connecting
-> Quit
Unable to connect
Disconnected
I'm using
NPPv6.5.4
NppFTPv0.24.1
Incase it matters, the hostname is through awardspace.net dck.dx.am connection mode is passive, transfer mode is binary, everything else is default...
Thanks in advance for the help,
Dave
I'm getting the same results. The plugin worked before, it looks it is now broken. Starting as admin doesn't help, too. Maybe you can downgrade it to some older version and retry. If someone has time, he can fill a support request directly at NPP FTP homepage. As problems with this plugin are frequent, I switched to a different solution - see the second paragraph of that post.
EDIT: I've made some plugin diagnostics, please follow here.
Connecting
-> Quit
Unable to connect
No more explanation of the error.
The reason was, remote machine doesn’t allow FTP connections at all!
So Use sftp (select from connetion type)
this will work
I've been happily using Team Foundation Server with Visual Studio 2010 for the last couple of months at my current place of work when it has suddenly stopped working. I get the following errors:
If I browse to the wiki (Sharepoint) on the TFS server it works fine in Firefox but in Internet Explorer it fails with:
No authority could be contacted for authentication.
I'm not aware of any changes to the server or my machine that would cause the errors and other users of TFS are not affected.
The TFS server is on a different domain to my machine, but usually I get prompted to login and using a domain prefixed username works. At the moment, I don't even get a login prompt anymore.
How do I fix this?
I have recently started to experience a similar issue. We also host TFS on a different domain. Twice in the last week TFS has stopped authenticating users, and I have received messages similar to above. I have no idea what is causing this, but on each occasion SQL Server Agent service was stopped. A reboot of the server and a manual restart of SQL Server agent seems to fix the problem temporarily. I'm not sure if this information is helpful, but I would also really appreciate any help in getting to the bottom of this.
We used a workaround to get past this problem. We configured an entry in the Windows Stored User Names and Passwords tool for the domain of the TFS server. It got around the problem of TFS not prompting for credentials by explicitly supplying them via this tool.
When you change your password for that domain account, you must also change the password here otherwise your account can be locked after failing authentication too many times.
I had the same problem, sorted it by upgrading to tfs2012
In my case, I changed the default port 8080 to port 80 and everything worked fine. but the message could also happen due to wrong saved credentials. you can go to the control panel of the windows and search for credentials manager and then remove your TFS credentials.
I´m following the steps outlined in Tim Davis´ blog for setting up GIT with copSSH on Windows (http://www.timdavis.com.au/git/setting-up-a-msysgit-server-with-copssh-on-windows/) but I´m having problems. I´ve gotten up to step 15 under the Installing Putty instructions but rather than getting a "Enter Login" message, I´m getting a "Network Error: Unable to connect to server" error.
I know that it could potentially be a myriad of things but I was wondering if by some miracle, someone could give me some ideas of what else I should check?
I´ve doublechecked the following:
IP address is correct
User has been added to copSSH
Key is stored in the specified user folder
Rule has been added to Firewall
(NOTE: We´re using a server on 1and1.com and the firewall rules allow us to specify a local port and a remote port. Have configured to local port 4837 and remote port to Any).
I tried to doublecheck if the SSH service is running but I don´t know what it´s called. I noted down the username and password from the copSSH setup but I haven´t seen anything remotely similar to SSH in the list of services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I´ve never had to do something like this before so I´m a little lost.
Regards,
Kat
Troubleshooting
Are you specifying port 4837 in the Putty window?
I personally suggest using OpenSSH or SmartGit, not Putty... I've seen too many issues with it.
Also, I suspect your firewall configuration needs to be local port=Any and remote port=4837.
The 5 minute shortcut
This installer sets up a windows git server using CopSSH. It configures the firewall, the user accounts, and gives you a GUI for all the SSH and keys stuff. It costs $9, but it saves hours of configuration (it's a 5 minute, 3-step install). It has a self-contained Git install, so no conflicts should happen.
NOTE: I'm the webmaster of windowsgit.com. I got the project started after taking a good look at Davis' tutorial and thinking.... oh, ----! The CopSSH author and I collaborated to make the automate the process and reduce the number of frustration-related keyboard deaths :)
I've installed TFS 2008, but I can't seem to access the server. When I try to connect to it in Visual Studio, I can't. If I try by browser on a remote PC, I get a generic page cannot be displayed. On the server, I get a 403. Nothing was touched in IIS and the service is running as a Network Service. Any ideas?
try:
http://localhost:8080/Services/V1.0/ServerStatus.asmx. This will tell you if TFS is up and running. If you are getting anything else you need to look into IIS issues.
I wrote a blog post on diagnosing these types of TFS connections.
http://blogs.msdn.com/granth/archive/2008/06/26/troubleshooting-connections-to-tfs.aspx
The very first thing I do is confirm that it works for a known-good configuration – usually my workstation.
Providing that works and the server appears to be functioning, the next thing I do is ask the user to call the CheckAuthentication web service using Internet Explorer.
The URL for this is: http://TFSSERVER:8080/services/v1.0/ServerStatus.asmx?op=CheckAuthentication
By doing this check, I am doing four things:
Eliminating Team Explorer from the picture
Eliminating the .NET networking stack from the picture
Ensuring that Windows Authentication is working correctly (that’s why I say IE)
Ensuring that proxy settings are set correctly
In most cases I’ve seen, the TFS connection issues are because the proxy settings have changed or are incorrect. Because .NET and Visual Studio use the proxy settings from Internet Explorer, it’s important to have them set correctly.
In rare cases it’s beyond this. That’s when I start looking at things like:
Can you resolve the server name?
Can you connect using the IP address?
Are there HOSTS file entries? (see: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)
Can you ping the server?
Can you telnet to port 8080?
Does the user actually have access? Run TfsSecurity.exe /server:servername /im n:DOMAIN\User to check their group memberships
Have you changed your domain password lately? In some cases they’ll need to logoff the workstation and log back on again to get a new security token.
Is the computer's domain certificate valid? update the certificate: gpupdate /force
Hope this helps.
Turns out the time and date on my computer was not "close enough" to the time and date on the tfs server. Changed my system clock setting and problem went away.
What happens if you send a simple HTTP request to the server directly?
ie:
telnet 8080 [enter]
GET / HTTP/1.1[enter]
[enter]
[enter]
That might give a hint about whether IIS is actually serving anything. If you can do that on the server, what about from a different machine? If the results are different a good guess is there are some security/firewall issues somewhere. HTH a little.
I went through everything on a similar problem.
I logged onto my tfs server and connected directly there.
I also used a TFS admin tool I downloaded some time ago from Microsoft, and made sure I was in all the right groups and projects.
I then went back to the client PC with the problem, tried the services/1.0/serverstatus.asmx?op=CheckAuthentication Url again, and it worked this time.
AFter that full service was restored to my PC.
So I don't have the exact answer, but I would go through the checklists presented by Grant Holliday in his answer.
Add this to the cases for future users, as i had this issue on server 2016...
if your firewall allow only Domain and Private Network, it may not work on client. make sure you give public permission, if server network is set to public...
