Alastair, the hostname formats that you have provided are pretty much the same thing.

Most FTP clients will accept ftp.website.co.uk. You only really need the ftp:// prefix when using a web browser, which is not recommended anyway.

You should be using..

host: website.co.uk

username: website.co.uk

password: website.co.uk's password. (domain password)

Although BT's support pages say to use ftp.website.co.uk as the server, just website.co.uk will usually work too. In fact www.website.co.uk should also work.

The reason being that they are all mapped to the same IP address.

In fact, you can use just the ip address if you want.
