FTP Server

[Yuripro84]

Something I am using Needs to know some information for FTP. I put it in to my best knowledge, but it's not working?! I know it's not the script, because it's never had such a problem. Here's what it needs, can anyone help?

FTP Server: (Is it localhost?)
Port: (21, right?)
Username: I know this
Password: I know this
Local Path To SMF: (What's the path to my main folder?)

Thanks in advance to any help guys!

EDIT:
If it helps any, I have a free text ad based hosting account, username fhskeyclub

If you go into your cpannel and click on FTP accounts

http://yourhost.com:2082/frontend/x3/ftp/accounts_pure-ftpd.html

If you dont have an account set one up.

Then just click the button next to the account to the right that says "Configure FTP Client" it gives you all the information you need.

Depending on where you are entering it, your "Local Path to SMF" should be either:

/home/fhskeyclub/public_html/forumdir
or simply
public_html/forumdir

*replace "forumdir" with the directory that you installed SMF to.

Take care.

It's still not working. I got all ifnormation, but what's the path? tried the default set by SMF (public_html), and a few others (/) (/www/) (/www) (www/) of course w/o parentheses. Is the forum software not allowed to login to my FTP? Or, does the default FTP info not work?

I did put port 21, ftp.links.x10hosting.com as server, and put my correct username/password (even double checked from email).

EDIT:
Haven't tried srek's post yet, lemme give it a try! We posted at similar times

EDIT:
Still not working..

The host is not localhost for FTP, it is your domain name.

I know

I did put port 21, ftp.links.x10hosting.com as server, and put my correct username/password (even double checked from email).

I don't know what's wrong with it. For anyone wondering, I'm trying to install Tiny Portal into Simple Machines Forums. It needs access to install it though (after I uploaded it). I guess I'll try to custom install it, because I don't want to find another host, this one is cool.

Also, the path to your main folder should be /home/Yuripro/public_html/SMF

Replacing 'SMF' with the forum's folder.

Still no luck. Could it be because I have smf in the root folder? It shows up, but should it be in a subfolder? I tried /home/Yuripro/public_html, /public_html, /home/yuripro/public_html, and some others where I moved the slashes. I'll just try it the hard way It's weird though.

It can be installed in public_html folder. Many people have done that.
