Can anyone get on to the ntl ftp. I have tried loads of times but cannot connect. I have tried news.ntlworld.com and ntlworld.news.cable.com. I am on 128k broadband. Has anyone got any advice plz.

FTP servers are normally access from ftp.ispname.xxx

You are using a news server front extension.

HTH

the ntl news server is

news.cable.ntlworld.com

hope this helps

you wont be able to access this using an ftp client though

There is a message on their window,at present, apologising for 'any inconvenience' so they obviously have a problem. It does say 'please try again later'
Bimbo.

You have to put that address in to a news reader eg xnews, go here and have a look at the tutorial ; www.binnetwork.net
