Trouble connecting to windows host

Hi,

I apologise but I am a newbie to both Quanta and linux. I am having trouble
connecting to my windows hosting account from Quanta.

When I create a new project, choose ftp, put in my username, password etc, after
clicking finish it says it can't open the project file and closes the unsaved
project.

It works fine with my linux hosting accounts and the username and passwords are
the same so I don't know what I am doing wrong. Tempting though it may be to
suggest that I should ditch the windows account in favour of the linux one
please understand that I have to use it for work and I am trying to set up
things so I can do some work from home! ;o)

I can ftp straight from my browser and it worked fine from Nvu. I tried setting
things up as a local project and then used the insert files option to get a copy
of the files from my site and that worked but of course I still couldn't upload
anything using quanta. I like using quanta but I don't want to have to manually
ftp everything.

Any advice to point me in the right direction would be great.

Cheers,
Jay
