    About an hour ago, I was able to connect to the FTP server and upload files to my website. For some reason, all of the sudden, I'm receiving an error message "FTP connection could not be opened because the FTP server has shut down" Server responded "Home directory not available - aborting." I have no idea what the issue could be here!!

    Heres my fetch transcript:

    Hi,

    That "Home directory not available - aborting" message is coming from the server, nocandomusic.com. You should contact the people who administer that server -- i.e. your web hosting company -- and let them know about the error message. This is the sort of problem that only they can fix.

    Thanks,
