    Then I think it's not letting you connect through the FTP Port, I mean the server's rejecting Incomming FTP connection in the Port it's trying to connect. Why dont you contact your web hosting company, I dont think the problem is in Filezilla.

    Try to disable your firewall. Maybe it blocking port 21.

    Try to re-enter all data (domain name,userid,password) and login again.

    BTW are you able to login through cpanel very well :confused:

    DON.

    If you still have a problem, my advise is to contact your hosting company. Sure they will know what is your problem.

    Looks like your port is blocked, configure your firewall properly :)
