I think the protocols are tighter now.

These are the settings I used when I transferred a former client to his own NameCheap server. the :21 at the end of the host address specifies Port 21 which is necessary for the security protocol setting.

I decided when I turned 80 that I would get out from all of the websites I was managing. If god forbid anything should happen to me, my wife would not have the slightest idea what to do.

My brother-in-law was my original computer guru circa 1979. He's 84 and still with it, though more into data organization than am I. He still spends hours on his computer every day, though pickleball takes up a lot of his time, too. As to quitting, I'm not sure my clients will allow that.

I use :21 or .22 as suggested by the Namecheap techs. They offer no insight into my issue; I don't know if that's political.

My greatest confusion is with publishing protocols I have been using for years (website A), where I will get the error message several times but if I keep telling Xara to publish, it will work. No changes to the protocol. Also, if I'm able to publish easily with FileZilla (website B), why do the same protocols not work in Xara?

My hope was that other users were having the same issue and that Xara might not have an up-to-date FTP engine. It appears, however, that it is only I.
These observations are with different websites
