I am in need of help and am sorry that this is my first post!

I have a web account that I found was too expensive but I was building my website on it. I found a better host by looking on this forum and wanted to transfer my work to my new site. Before I could move it, the expensive host locked my account for a billing issue that I corrected and then asked to close my account. They said they would open it again for 24 hours for me to get my files back but they have not and I have tried several times to contact them with no reply.

I am locked out of FTP and index.htm shows page of vendor but my website is still accessible. I found that I can still reach sub folders. I had much data that I was working on but I put it in an odd named folder and can't remember the name.

Is there a way that I can get my data back so that I can work with the new host? I did pay the old one back but now they seem to not care about my data. I would like to download it using a web mirroring tool but I can't remember the exact folder name. I had it hidden until I finished what I was making. I would like to download it soon as I think they will delete my site soon!

Which host are you having issues with?

I'm having an issue similar to that with destxhost.com. They are not responding to my messages and I can't access my account. Very Frustrating!

There's no real alternative way in obtaining your files without knowing the direct URLs or FTP

ya i finally was able to communicate with the host guy and he opened up the account for a few minutes so I could remove my files.

My host is lowbudgethost.com I setup an account with them a while back when they charged more but I asked for a price reduction and they would only offer to cancel my account and then I could order a new one (causing my site to go down for a while).

I found that part of my site is still active. My index.htm file is overwritten but I found subfolders that are still there and was able to grab some of my files. But I have two folders that I created with odd names and cannot guess them. I know what they start with but not the rest. I tried a web mirror program but because I had nothing linked to them it won't pick them up unless I know the exact name. They are open directories not locked down I just have no links to them.
