As you may know, the 2 main reasons for that error is using an wrong username or password. I must assume you have triple checked both.
Have you lot recently tried using an FTP client like Filezilla with the same credentials to come across if that works OK?
It may help if you would post a screenshot of your FTP config, such as:

That'due south the aforementioned screenshot you uploaded x minutes before. I'thou not asking for your username or countersign, but hoping you could share to help someone else. If you were doing something wrong all along and adopt to keep it to yourself, that's OK, too.
I personally take NEVER made any misatkes.....

Is that paradigm from when you click on the 'Exam' push?
If so, the Wiki says yous tin can only upload an image (like '.JPG'); the FTP 'Exam' in Blue Iris uploads a text (.TXT) file named 'ftptest.txt' which is probable why the test fails.
Fix up a camera to upload an image file every 10 minutes or then. The photographic camera volition utilize those FTP settings to do and then.
Go to 'photographic camera properties', select the 'Post' tab, click on 'help' lower right for more than info.

Thank you for that information and that is the image from a test. I did not realize the the exam is a .txt file. I have referred to the help info as well as other information on the web. As far as I can tell my data is correct based on screen shots of those who have been successful. I as well requested assistance from WU - nothing yet. Finally, I should note that a jpeg is being generated every 60 seconds but not uploaded.

OK, good info and success is on the horizon, hopefully.
Can you mail a screenshot of the 'camera properties', 'Mail service' tab? BTW, there is no confidential info on information technology, that would be but on your FTP setup page.

Here are a few shots which you may notice interesting. You can clearly see the jpegs on the far right of the screen. Just not uploading.

+one to @tangent 'due south query. For test, I'd go to 'Postal service' tab and check all contour boxes at bottom.
Besides: accept yous tried an FTP programme (like free 'Filezilla') to FTP your image to WU using your credentials? If that doesn't piece of work, then you lot can eliminate BI as beingness the problem, IMO.

You've either got a typo or issue with the type of ftp connectedness being used. This is why trying some other FTP client similar filezilla is a adept idea.
