Never one for the 'easiest' way(!) can I connect via FTP to this service? Any s/w that says it runs quietly in the background puts me off! :¬P

I've followed the FTP instructions here but can't connect. It's possible that I need to give things more time to be setup in the background as I've dived straight in :¬)

NB. I get a 404 using the published mobile link?

Thanks,

It is not possible to directly access the Online Backup service directly via FTP. With the way it is designed to work, it will automatically backup your files with the Livedrive software, then you are able to access any backed up files as required either via the online portal, or via the Livedrive restore software.

There is a service which is available that does allow FTP access (Online Backup + Briefcase), but this isn't included with Freeola Broadband.

Thank you for reporting the issue with the link to the mobile portal. This should have now been resolved by our systems team, however there was a DNS change involved so it could take up to 24hrs to propagate. In the mean time you should be able to access the mobile service from m.livedrive.com.
