I was trying to connect to my hosting server and I received the error message as below:-

Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

Response:   220-You are user number 2 of 50 allowed.
Response:   220-Local time is now 11:40. Server port: 21.
Response:   220-This is a private system - No anonymous login

Response:   220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Response:   234 AUTH TLS OK.

Error:  Could not connect to server

I have tried on an off the firewall but still no luck. What could be the reason ? I have also tried with two different servers but it still isn't working.
