Issues with Connecting

Sometimes there are issues with connecting to the server. Most of the time the error that shows is 'Authentication Failed' . This can generally be resolved by slightly editing the login parameters.

  1. In the 'Port' Field, try specifying port 21.
  2. In the 'Port' Field, try specifying port 22.
  3. In the 'Host' Field, try adding ftp:// to the front.
  4. In the 'Host' Field, try adding sftp:// to the front.
  5. If all of these options fail, try resetting your webspace password (https://uwmsois.com/passwordreset)
