FileZilla Connection timed out, Error Connecting to Server

Question

I am having an issue with FileZilla, when I try access my FTP account, I get this:

Status: Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx (Ip adds:port)
Error:  Connection timed out
Error:  Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to (Ip adds:port)
Error:  Connection timed out
Error:  Could not connect to server

This was working fine till yesterday. It works on another pc, but its not working onn my pc now. I tried disabling Windows Firewall (as I am using Windows 8 OS). Also I completely reinstalled FileZilla, still that didn't do it. Is there anything more I can try?

Answer 1

I was connected to the Internet from another Laptop, with sharing the internet connection. So there was the problem, it had restricted to access the ports. When I connected directly to the Internet the problem was solved.

Answer 2

I had a similar issue. Turned out I was using an incorrect protocol to login to the ftp server. The ftp server was ssh secured. Selecting SFTP option instead of FTP worked for me.

Answer 3

You might need to write the host in this format

ftp.example.com

This works if you are having the following error as well

ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server

Answer 4

Change Your Internet Connection then connect FileZilla

thanks
