For some reason for about the last 3 to 6 months I have been unable to publish using EW4. I go to publish and a publishing box appears as I used to have in Frontpage. The message says: FTP transmits the user name and pw with encryption. If possible, open the site by using an HTTP URL to help protect it from potential network attacks. If I ignore and OK this I have a Login failure 530. Does anyone know what would cause this? I cannot 'repair' using my CD as I have EW3 with dl update to EW4.
