I have the right username and password combination, the cpanel credential. But both Dreamweaver and Filezilla keep showing error 530. I do not know why. Dreamweaver did not show such error before.
My site was full because of a huge error_log file, I deleted that file and some backup files. It seems the problem started after that.
Please help.

Hello, Thank you for contacting us about a 530 error when attempting to connect to your server with FTP. Since the domain you provided is routed through cloudflare, I recommend testing with your server name, or IP address. You can view your server name and server IP address by logging into your cPanel account and viewing the cPanel stats on the left side of the screen. The server name listed will be a shortened version of the full server name. For example, if you see ecbiz108 listed in the cPanel stats, the full server name would be ecbiz108.inmotionhosting.com. For more information regarding FTP, please see our FTP Getting Started Guide If your problems persist, I recommend reviewing your FTP logs for record of your connection, or additional errors. Let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you, John-Paul
