I am trying to connect to a networked machine's FileZilla server but my FileZilla Client is giving the following error while connecting. The error is:

"Connection attempt failed with ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server"

Windows Firewall is turned off on that machine and i had provided the valid credentials in my FTP Client.

Thanks in advance

FTP protocol may be blocked by your ISP firewall, try connecting via SFTP (i.e. use 22 for port num instead of 21 which is simply FTP).
