Okay So I decided to go with what I know, so now I am running an Ubuntu server. The same problem persists. I set up all the hostnames and everything properly this time, and I only have one site created. I am now sure that port forwarding and everything on the router end is set for the server's static IP (192.168.1.9). I checked on the server, and there is a web1 folder in my /var/www/ and also a www.winrowinc.com folder in /var/www which links to it. The nameservers are correct with the domain, and the user web1_admin has administrator preferences. Ubuntu doesn't have a firewall so nothing is blocking it. It seems as though I've done everything imaginable for this to work, yet it still doesn't. So once again I am trying to access it from my local network. In dreamweaver I should be able to type in "192.168.1.9" as my ftp host right? Not my public IP because that would only be for out of the network correct? Should I try like ftp.thesitename.com or something? "Web1_admin" and my password should be the ones I use... The host directory should be /var/www/web1 I've tried it with and without passive ftp ISPConfig says all services are up and running, and Ubuntu does as well. I can access the site from ISPConfig's Web-ftp and see the folders. What could the problem possibly be?
Yes. Yes. You can use any hostname or IP address that is pointing to the server. If you've created a DNS record for ftp.thesitename.com, you can use that.
Turned out to be a silly mistake like I thought. All the ftp stuff worked, it was just the folder should have been just / since it was already directed to /var/www/ when I put in that user and pass. Thanks for all the help.
