There are a few common reasons why you may not be able to connect via FTP:

1. Use the correct hostname

If you haven’t switched nameservers to point to Multidata, use:

  • Linux/Windows: ftp.stackcp.com
  • WordPress: wordpressftp.stackcp.com

2. Make sure FTP is unlocked

Multidata uses an FTP lock system for security. To unlock:

  1. Log into My Multidata
  2. Select the hosting package from Manage Hosting
  3. Select to unlock FTP by time or by a specific IP address

3. Check your DNS has an FTP record

If you’ve made DNS changes, ensure you have a CNAME from ftp.yourdomain.com pointing to ftp.stackcp.com.

4. Use the correct password

Use the password found within the FTP Details section of your hosting package.
