ftp client issues...im so confused...plz help!!!

Hi,

I have tried to connect to the website I am designing through several different ftp clients (SmartFTP, Transmit, and Core FTP Lite) and every time I try to connect with the username, host address, and password given to me by the host of the website, it says: "Cannot establish connection --> ftp.WoodFloorTech.com:21"

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or have any ideas how to help me?? I'm so confused!!!! It worked perfectly before!! :sad:

Maybe the server requires or cannot handle passive mode transfers.

Try toggling the passive mode.

Hmmm. Well I can telnet to that address and read the scary warning they have there. Is that the link you're using to connect?
