Error: Could not connect to server Actually I study in a college and I am using internet connection provided by college.I have tried everything: I reinstalled filezilla I removed firewall settings as well. I went through entire filezilla forums and discusssions.What all suggested I tried,but still same problem. Please help someone.....I will hail you and will really be grateful to you.
You're trying to connect to the wrong port. Your logs show connection attempts to port 8000, and you should be connecting to ftp port --> 21.
FTP port is 21, Make sure you are using the right port if this doesn't help contact your web host provider and see if ftp is installed.
Thanks guys for your reply.....but I used port 21 as well and similar error is showingStatus: Connecting to 216.151.164.42:21...Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".Error: Could not connect to serverStatus: Waiting to retry...Status: Connecting to 216.151.164.42:21...Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".Error: Could not connect to server
Works fine from my end. Response: 220 Microsoft FTP Service Command: USER anonymous Response: 331 Password required for anonymous. Command: PASS ************** Response: 530 User anonymous cannot log in. Error: Critical error Error: Could not connect to server Code (markup): Might be your college blocking outbound ports or redirecting unauthenticated traffic?
Did you double check your username and password to make sure everything is okay? Like "PsyHost" mentioned above it could very well be your school blocking ports, I tend to noticed that when I was in high school, I would bring my laptop and on lunch break I would sit in the stair way with my laptop connected to the school's wifi connection there were certain things that I couldn't do like access my servers via SSH.
Thanks again everyone for some insightful inputs....but let me add some more details to my issue(actually I have posted one thread also in some other section) My college it seems has put in some firewall to prevent access.I asked IT department of my college about the issue they said they cant help and as such they have not formally blocked it,it is due to some default setting in Router/LAN connection(over which I dont have any control) which is preventing me to connect to the server.And then I said - so fix the issue , they replied its not their concern and they wont fix the issue.And my college is charging exorbitant amount for IT charges monthly which is good enough for anyone to purchase an external 3G unlimited plan in India.What should I do? Website is for non commercial purpose and college IT policy also doesn't prohibit me in maintaining any such website? Can I take any kind of legal action against them? Or to whom should I complaint?
Thank you everyone who all replied to this thread.My problem has been solved.I found that college had blocked that particular port.I gave them UDP port number which was 21.And they opened this port.And now I can work perfectly fine with my hostel internet connection.Thanks again.
