TWebUpdate: A connection with the server could not be established

I have TWebUpdate working as expected on my local development computer. It can connect to the FTP and check for a an update and if available download and install it.

I now place my application on the server at the office and try it and get the following error:

14/08/2020 07:15:03 : [918] Checking for Internet connection (Status:3) (Error:0)

Any ideas?

It says Connect to host : ftp..com

So, it seems you didn't set the FTP host name.

Hmmm, I had removed the actual hostname and plugged in , maybe I deleted it...

OK for some reason your site does like when I type in < H o s t N a m e > without the spaces. In any case the host name was there in the log.

Well, then as the log indicates, it cannot connect.
First thing to check: firewall, antivirus, correctness URL, ...
