- Your Internet Service Provider is blocking the port you're trying to use to connect via FTP - Port 21
- Your FTP client is not set to work in Passive mode - please, refer to your FTP client documentation on how exactly you can switch between different FTP modes;
- Your domain name is expired or is resolving incorrectly. You can eliminate this issue by accessing your account directly via its IP address;
