  Hi. I'm using Fetch5.7.4 under MacOS Yosemite (10.10.5)

  I recently changed my hosting company, and using Fetch to connect to my account fails with the following Transcript:
  Fetch 5.7.4 (5H1367) Intel (Web Store) running on Mac OS X 10.10.5 (14F27) Intel English
  StuffIt Engine 0x820, StuffIt SDK Version 10.1.1b1

  An FTP connection to “ftp.com-uk.org” could not be opened because the server rejected the password. (Contact the server administrator to verify that you have the correct hostname, username, password, and authentication method.
  Server responded: “Login authentication failed”)

  However, I can (1) connect using cPanel's File Manager [although that only lets me upload files, not folders]; (2) I can connect to a different account on that same host without trouble via the same copy of Fetch!

  Help, please................

  Hi,

  The FTP server is saying that you are entering the wrong username or password (or both). As the error message suggested, you should contact the new hosting company to get the correct FTP login information for that account. CPanel uses different authentication information, so it's entirely possible to have the right information for cPanel and the wrong information for FTP.

  Thanks,
