To look up the host type of an FTP site:

  1. Disconnect from the site if you are currently connected to it.
  2. Make sure that the log window is open/viewable.
  3. Exit WS_FTP and restart.
  4. Try to determine the host type from the log.
    • Connect to the site again.
    • Check the log to see if the host type is identified there. If it is, select the corresponding host type on the Advanced dialog of the Site Options. If that does not work, try the next step.
