If there is an alternative way of doing this, please let me know below:
I downloaded FileZilla and have HostGator as my hosting. When I put my info in to Filezilla I can't connect which doesn't let me upload my forum to my domain website.
Anyone have anything they could share to help me.
I also use hostgator and had the same problem once.
When you log into your cpanel you will see your sites "dedicated ip address" on the left towards the bottom
log into the ftp using the ip instead of the domain name and it will most likely fire right up.
example ftp://123.456.789.012
hope this helps.
