This week, we have reports of another old friend
Possibly, this is a recurrence of last month's problem, or maybe an earlier problem.
If you are suffering from this problem, please provide diagnostic information:
And spend some time reading about possible problems with FTP Publishing. All problems aren't caused by Blogger - sometimes, the host server will cause this symptom, too.
(Update 2010/01/27): We have a new occurrence of this problem, this week.
(Update 2009/1/1): This symptom appears to be repeating itself, yet a second time.
(Update 12/28): This symptom appears to be repeating itself, though with slightly different details being reported.
(Update 12/26): After attention by "John P" (possibly a Blogger employee?), this problem appears to be fixed
(Update 12/25): I have seen some comments from bloggers who state that changing the name of the host server, from "ftp.mysite.com" to "mysite.com" resolved their problem. If your server name is not of that form, I'm not sure that will do you any good, though.

The problem has now been fixed. Sorry for the trouble.

I would greatly appreciate any help or updates.

In the Publishing page, I changed the FTP server name from "dndc-web1.dndchosting.com" (my hosting provider) to "ligres.com" (my domain).
I can still access my domain with FileZilla (an FTP client) using "dndc-web1.dndchosting.com" as the FTP server name, so I think it is a fault of Blogger, that decided to change something without prior notice.
Hope this helps someone.
there must have been a change by blogger for referring to the given name of the FTP server. in my case I have 2 blogs, the one which has been running fine ist directed to the main domain talix.net. the other blog is connected on an additional domain "www.norderney-tagebuch.de" which is routed also onto the talix server. up to the 23rd december blogger accepted the additional domain name as FTP server, now it processes the failure with timeout. just have changed the FTP server name to the main url and everything's fine.
thank you all for this quick support and help and have a wonderful christmas time
best regards from Germany

1. Removing the ftp did not work.
2. Adding www instead of ftp did not work.
3. Using ftp.mydomain.com did work (instead of the usual ftp.myhost.com)
I haven't used my domain for the ftp for years, and the "official" ftp settings that work for everything else and are given as correct are the ftp.myhost.com.
I imagine it'll break again and I'll have to keep adjusting the ftp settings as such. Not very pleasant.
Changed the FTP from the IP nr to ftp.url.nu and to url.nu and then back to the IP. I'm running out of ideas.

I tried all of the fixes listed on this page with no success. My website is hosted with Lunarpages. I sent a support ticket in to them and they finally figured it out:
"It appears that one of the IP addresses that google blogger uses was blocked on the server, and it has been unblocked at this time.
For future reference, the IP addresses are:
74.125.66.132
74.125.112.132"
So if you are having this problem you should try contacting your hosting company, and give them these IP addresses to make it easier for them.
I'm having the same problem that you have found
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out bloggers

What am I doing wrong?
I just published a new post to track the current problem. I suggest that you review the content, and follow the link to the forum thread. Maybe add this information in that post, too.
