My images are not going through with any title/keyword info using Filezzilla for my FTP.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Thanks for any input.

Which sites? Never had this problem

Problem more likely to do with the tool you use to keyword than the one you use to upload

Yeah, use Lightroom or Bridge to embed your keywords. If you do it by editing the image properties in Windows it wont stick.

Yeah, make sure that - whatever program you use - it saves tags as IPTC

Windows properties are probably saved as XMP. In case you already tagged pictures as XMP, you can use XnView to convert between tags.

I've been using Bridge to add keywords/titles for about a year in order to keyword/title groups at one time.
The problem only started about a month ago.

Download a freeware program that reads IPTC data and check your own images. A file can not loose its IPTC data in transfer through FTP. As the posters indicated above, the chance of the data not being properly stored on the files in the right area in the first place is probably your problem. The only other possibility can be that the site you are uploading to does not read this data. Which site(s) do you have the problem with?

IPTC works very well!!! It is the problem solver !!!
