    Problem Loging in to Win Scp
    « on: August 24, 2010, 02:13:07 AM »
    Hi I am having trouble editing my website because i cannot log on to win scp.
    I know that the password is correct and i am logging on the same way that i have done for the past 3 months .
    Here is the error message i keep getting:

    Could not retrieve directory listing
    Can't open data connection.

    Can anybody shed some light on what the problem is or how to fix it ?

    Sounds like a firewall problem.

    If you are using a router login and look for how your FTP settings are setup.
