The problem you are having with FTP - no connection to Rootsweb sounds very similar to the problem that I am having with two of my pages. However my WS_FTP does connect but I get a message in the lower display that says "retrieval of directory listing failed" each time I try connecting. The remote directory therefore remains blank. This is happening on my Jackson County WVGenWeb page and also my Shockey Family page. The same software is working fine with my WVGenWeb state page access so I believe that the problem is somewhere with the RootsWeb server.

Les, Have you tried setting up a new connection to one of the sites that you're having problems with? I've run into this same thing a couple of times, knew I'd made no changes to the saved ftp site, but couldn't connect for anything. Setting up a new connection, with the same software or a different one, solved the problem. To this day, I've never figured out why the original connections all of a sudden didn't work, I just thanked my lucky stars that the new ones did.
