Sometimes when I log onto certain FTP servers, I get the following message:

Why does it kick me off after preparing to accept the password? Does it mean that the server is busy? Usually if it is busy it gives me something like Too many users.

Thank you.

The "busy server" message is usually a "421" error code:

421 Too many users logged for this account. Try again later.


The "530" error code could be that you're using a wrong password.

Wrong password...

That's what is happening...
