Whitelist Codeanywhere

[random21]

Hello,
I'm having problem accessing my website's FTP through codeanywhere to be able to code and see the update quickly. I've contacted their support (after doing what I could beforehand) and they've told me to make sure that Codeanywhere's IP addresses (quite a few) are allowed on the website. Is there a way to whitelist their IPs? Furthermore, is there a way to check if my server is reachable from their IP addresses?
Thank you in advance.

That would provide a way around the country restrictions (it would make it possible for someone to have a contact from a whitelisted country to sign up for you), so I wouldn't hold my breath. It is philosophically the same as using a proxy/VPN.

Is there at least a way to check if their IPs (all located in US) are being blocked?

what errors do you receive ?

to be able to code and see the update quickly

is there a "delay" for the updates to show (load) ?

EDIT
you made me look - I have a [ Codeanywhere ] account
I do not use it - do to the dark coding screens
BUT there is no issue with FTP from [ Codeanywhere ] to my account on x10hosting's free-hosting server [ xo3 ]

can you use FileZilla to FTP login - for your x10hosting's free-hosting server - as a test ?

what errors do you receive ?

A timeout error. Initially I set it to 5 seconds to see the error quickly but even changing it to longer intervals did not change anything.

is there a "delay" for the updates to show (load) ?

Yes, there is. I read about the cache system X10Hosting uses and have disabled it through .htaccess but modifying files locally and then uploading them to the server to test (I don't have local PHP to test it out) is kind of tiresome, especially when fixing little bugs. It can get to uploading a file multiple times in just one minute.

A timeout error

are you using - host name which is ftp.yourdomain.x10.mx (replacing yourdomain.x10.mx with your account's domain) and the username and password is the same as your cPanel ones ?

are you using [ FTP server ] and not [ FTPS server ] on [ Codeanywhere ] ?

I've tried both FTP and FTPS options (with port 22 as specified on the connection guide). And I'm using the info given when I click on the connection guide button.
