Als ik met Grabit iets probeer te downloaden (volledig legaal overigens) lukt dat niet. Ik krijg te zien: "Unable to connect to news.just4today.net:119 (Socket Error # 10061Connection refused.) Dat is niet zo handig, want nu kan ik niet downloaden. Hoe los ik dit op?

Hulp wordt gewaardeerd, want ik snotter mijn hele toetsenbord onder.

Socket error = #10061

10061 is a Connection Refused error sent to you by the server. You could not make a connection because the target machine actively refused it. The most common cause is a misconfigured server, full server, or incorrect Port specified by the client.

To change your connection Port for an FTP site

1. Highlight the site in the Site Manager.

2. On the menu bar, click File > Properties.

3. Click the Type tab.

4. Enter the correct port number in the Port text box.

Sometimes a 10061 error is caused by either a firewall or anti-virus software presence on the local computer or network connection. Either one may be blocking the ports needed to make a successful FTP connection to the server.

For a regular FTP session, please either disable the firewall or anti-virus software or configure it to allow CuteFTP to establish an FTP session over ports 20 and 21. Please consult the documentation or help file for your specific firewall or antivirus software product for further instructions. Usually the manufacturer of the device or software will also have specific instructions available on their Web site.

If you continue to receive the same error after insuring ports 20 and 21 are open, please contact the administrator of the site where you are trying to connect.
