You say you are connected to that site, but if you get an error message
that says "searching for host" something's wrong.
1)open the site definition. You should have info for:
host server:
directory path: (not required)
username:
password:
Are you sure that this info is correct? How did you get it? If you are
sure it is right and you feel you are connected properly...
2) click the test button in the remote info category and what does it say?
3) if you get anything except a success message, try clicking the
Passive FTP option if it isn't selected. If it *is*, then uncheck it.
4) Try the test button again.
