According to this answer at StackOverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/a/46288849/213136 - an UnknownHostException means that the host name isn’t being resolved to an IP, so it’s a name resolution issue rather than a password issue. Can you ping sm3.siteground.biz from the command line? You might try using the IP of the server instead of the name – so ftp://[email protected]:21/staging/2/templates/beez where 12.34.56.78 is the IP of sm3.siteground.biz. If you can get in that way you might try adding an entry for sm3.siteground.biz to your hosts file. Bob From: Roy Stannard [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2018 2:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ jEdit-users ] ftp usage I'm having difficulty logging on to my web host's ftp server. jEdit keeps returning this error msg: ftp://[email protected]:21/staging/2/templates/beez_20<ftp://[email protected]:21/staging/2/templates/beez_20>: Cannot list directory: java.net.UnknownHostException: sm3.siteground.biz<http://sm3.siteground.biz> The FTP plugin is up-to-date. The puzzling thing about all this is that it is of very recent origin, occuring just a few days ago. I can login OK to the cpanel app on my website's server which uses the same password as FTP. I'd be grateful for any help. best regards Roy The information contained in this e-mail message is privileged and/or confidential and is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.
