Hi Matthias,

Good idea. I just sent support an email asking to have ssh activated!

I'll post again with results!

If that also doesn´t work, then i would assume that your server is blocking the incoming connection from on-rev. If that works, then  livecode server seems to have a problem with ftp outgoing connections.
