I am unable to connect via ftp to LuckyOliver, anybody else having this problem? SY

It seems that they have added another server and this might be a consequence of that action.

You can read about it here:

What's really crazy is that they have someone working on their architecture that hasn't ever done this before.  And from the following quote, it seems that he isn't the only one that doesn't know what he is doing:

"I've never really done anything like this before. But I guess here at LuckyOliver we're all learning how it's done."

Sort of like the blind leading the deaf.

Sorry about that guys...the switch over caused FTP to go down.  It's back up again.

As for Joel, he's got a great team working with him.  We have a hosting company that's working with him on all decisions.  We made a gunslinging call to rollover to a new web server to help with performance.
