FTP Help

Hey all,

I've been having problems with my ftp lately and I have no clue what's going on. I have my own personal domain and such and have friends hosted and whatnot. Well the other day I went to update one of my join-sites I have with a friend of mine and my ftp wouldn't connect to my domain. I checked my site and it's all up and running, so it's not that my server is down or anything like that.

I tried getting into other places that I have ftp access to (angelfire.com, etc..) and I can't connect to those either. I talked to one of my other hostee's and they can get into their directory just fine even though I can't. It's really bothering me as to what's going on and why I can't log in.

When I -do- try and login, I get some odd error: ! Connection failed blahblah.com - connection refused

I get this every time I login and it's starting to frustrate me. Also, I was using WS_FTP LE at the time, but I've since uninstalled/reinstalled thinking there might be some problem with that and still no luck. So I've uninstalled it completely, so I have no ftp program as of right now. I also tried getting in through the browser ftp thing and even -that- won't work for me.

Any help, tips or info would be greatly appreciated. I really don't know what to do about this problem and nothing I do seems to help.

Oh and if it helps any, I'm running Windows XP Home Edition.

Thank you for your time.

do you have some rotuer or firewall blocking outgoing ftp connections?

nmap the port to see if its open maybe for some reason the host has it closed. there was just a big released bug on proftpd so if they use that they may of took it down waiting for a fix.
