Since last couple of days, I am unable to log in to my web hosting account via FTP. Connection is getting timed out. Timeout delay is set to 20 seconds which should be more than sufficient. Any ideas?

Yes. Try to use FTP from another machine.Any ideas?
We are no longer using a single server, our site is now powered by a CDN for the sake of robustness and load balancing. Given your activity on the Team Reboot security team, it might be possible that your IP address was blacklisted somewhere as "malicious" and the CDN prevents you from FTP access.

Simply impossible & awkward. I don't have access to any system other than my laptop. My office network is behind corporate firewall.

Nuno, don't want to seem in any way hostileYes. Try to use FTP from another machine.

or lacking respect and gratitude for all the nice things you are implementing to better the Forum/website/whatever 
, but IF the stoopid CDN (whatever it is 
) has blacklisted Holmes.Sherlock's IP, a "right" answer would be:"I'll check and whitelist manually your IP back."
AND NOT:
"Change your IP"
Apart from the issue at hand, do you realise that this equates plainly into
:"I built something that took control and I cannot do anything about it?"
WHAT THE HECK!
I sincerely hope that this is not §@ç#ing Skynet and the system has not (yet
) gained self-awareness:http://en.wikipedia....net_(Terminator)

It is more like:Apart from the issue at hand, do you realise that this equates plainly into
"I built something that took control and I cannot do anything about it?"
"We need additional information, should first try to know for sure what is going wrong before making changes all over the place".
If something works good for many and doesn't work for a single user, I am interested in knowing more about the problem and not so interested in applying changes without considering the implications.

Well, THEN the righteous answer would be:It is more like:
"We need additional information, should first try to know for sure what is going wrong before making changes all over the place".
If something works good for many and doesn't work for a single user, I am interested in knowing more about the problem and not so interested in applying changes without considering the implications.
"Wait, I suspect that the CDN may have blacklisted your IP, I'll have a look at it's blacklist, and, if this is the case, I will manually correct it."
You see
, this implies that you actually have control over the stupid CDN...

More info is needed to avoid jumping onto hasty conclusions.
This might have nothing to do with blacklisted IP addresses or Team Reboot.

Nuno,
If you are interested in checking CDN's blacklist or whatsoever, I will PM you the IPs or IP ranges that my ISP assigns. But changing my ISP is impossible as this is the one which fits both my need & pocket.

Hi,
Everyone, please try using as FTP server the following address:
If that doesn't work, try using instead:
Everyone, please try using as FTP server the following address:
ftp.reboot.pro
If that doesn't work, try using instead:
ftp://w.bbAnd it will work for sure.

Hmmm. 
We have now a suggestion to try TWO things and a report from the user that actually originated the bug report hinting that EITHER ONE OR BOTH of them do work.
VERY accurate, and undoubtedly useful.

First one works fine from FileZilla, second one is web-based & works no doubt. But, I am unsure how to upload file using the web-based interface.
BTW,
MedEvil can now re-consider his decision of not joining Team Reboot.

Knowing a bit Medevil, probably the only way you can possibly have him in the team is by prohibiting him to join itMedEvil can now re-consider his decision of not joining Team Reboot.

That's why we need a .script dev to write disaster-defeating scripts.

FTP server can also be connected if <domainname>.reboot.pro is used as FTP host. A few days back, reboot.pro could be used as FTP host to connect to any sub-domain. Somehow, it is permitted no more & that is what created the mess.

CDN ... It must be the CloudFlare. http://www.cloudflare.com
Good thing it solved, but the same problems might have other developers who use reboot subdomain , or even Winbuilder, when downloading from the server, might be "banned" because too many requests?
What exactly does CloudFlare CDN ? And how it filters ip addresses ?

Why not this, Mr. Global Mod?
BTW, it does not seem anyway our site has been "supercharged".

While in my case I can't agree with the promised performance level...
In spite of whatever their stats reflects, I did not experience any significant improvement in loading of web pages.

Now being ontopic: I must get used then to use 178.63.20.146 instead of the domain name "reboot.pro" when using ftp or cPanel, because reboot.pro points to another place (Something with fCDN or fCloud... )
And that because I couldn't access cPanel. Now solved!
