Cannot connect Webstorm to FTP project

Question

I am trying to connect my Webstorm to my web site, so i can work on the files over the network via FTP, but i can't seem to get my FTP connection to work.

If I connect to my website via Filezilla like this :

... it works perfect.

However when I try with Webstorm nothing seems to work. Here is a screenshot :

error :

Note :

• username and password are identical in both cases.
• On webstorm i have tried a number of things for the FTP host: www.blue-walrus.com, ftp.blue-walrus.com. And for Web server root URL, i have tried http://blue-walrus.com, and http://www.blue-walrus.com.

Where am i going wrong?

Please check if turning 'Passive mode' (Deployment/Advanced options) on makes any difference. If it doesn't, please try the following:

• shut down WebStorm

• delete the idea.log

• enable debug logging for 'com.jetbrains.plugins.webDeployment' category (see devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-1202 for details)

• recreate your problem and send the idea.log to Jetbrains support
