This is really annoying when I'm doing live editing and want to upload and test things quickly. This happens to be with several hosting providers. I tried FTP clients FileZilla and another one and they either don't connect, or they connect but they won't transfer anything. WTF? FTP used to be so easy and fast and reliable in the 90s but now it's a pain in the ass. What has changed in FTP world? Are the FTP servers more secure and demanding and how can I change this?

Thanks
