Grrr grrr NTL grrr

Situation: I need to upload some stuff to my NTL webspace.
Problem 1: My laptop, which contains the relevant settings, is five miles away.
Problem 2: The NTL website is claiming that the page containing said settings does not exist.
Possible solution: I know that some of you guys use NTL - can someone tell me the FTP host and the host directory? Or, y'know, direct me at free, ad-free, FTPable hosting, if such a thing exists?

The host is upload.ntlworld.com, and you need to supply your default ntl mail account name (e.g. jane.smith) as the username and your password (as used for e.g. POP3).

Hope this helps:-)

It should help, shouldn't it? But actually, it doesn't. Tried it, no joy. Bugger.

Curious... perhaps FTP uploads are blocked by your work firewall?

It's possible, I suppose, but seems reasonably unlikely - I FTP to the work servers both from the office and from home, and I can dl my personal email on my work machine, so blocking FTP access to non-work servers would seem a bit odd...

Connected to upload.ntlworld.com.
Connection closed by remote host.

From my (linux) machine at home:

I suspect that NTL don't allow FTP access from outside their domain.
