I've been plagueing Flinty with emails and questions about filezilla, FTP, FTPS and config files trying to figure out what went wrong! Still no wiser really.
I talked to support at 1and1 and after many musical interludes they came back and said they had simply disabled and re-enabled the "config file" and said I could do this via filezilla. They couldn't or wouldn't tell me where to find this magic config file or what it might be called! Just insisted that they did nowt that I could not do!
Have we any filezilla experts here that might have a clue where I might find this mysterious file??

Nice to see it sorted but I can't help you with FileZilla. I've never got on with it myself. I currently use WinSCP. (www.winscp.net).

The error reported the config file location as:

\\?\E:\kunden\homepages\36\d76288321\www\web.config

which will probably be the real file path on the server. I'd guess it maps to something like this in your filezilla:

<your ftp root>\www\web.config

Nice one Ian I've found it, it seems it's an xml file that sets the default files to be opened, must be an IIS thing as I've never come across it on an apache/linux server.
There was no such file in the original file list so probably to do with the server update, you'd have thought they would have added it automatically.
It's in the root directory, contents are:
quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<defaultDocument enabled="true">
<files>
<clear />
<add value="index.aspx" />
<add value="index.asp" />
<add value="index.htm" />
<add value="index.html" />
<add value="home.aspx" />
<add value="home.asp" />
<add value="home.htm" />
<add value="home.html" />
<add value="default.aspx" />
<add value="default.asp" />
<add value="default.htm" />
<add value="default.html" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

So might this make us any wiser as to what happened?

Can't speak for others but I am definitely wiser than I was yesterday, unless you count all the stuff that I have forgotten.
