Can't Log in into FTP

In the past two days I've been trying to login into my ftp server, but just nothing works. I use Norton Antivirus, but I can't find nothing that helps me solve the problem. This is what I get
I use Cute FTP Proffesional

Double check your user name and password.
This advice may help:
Go to Site manager>(Right click on your ftp host and click on) Properties>Click on "Type" tab>Find "Data connection type:" and change "Use global settings" to "Use PORT".

An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. This normally results if the peer application on the remote host is suddenly stopped, the host is rebooted, the host or remote network interface is disabled, or the remote host uses a hard close (see setsockopt for more information on the SO_LINGER option on the remote socket). This error may also result if a connection was broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while one or more operations are in progress. Operations that were in progress fail with WSAENETRESET. Subsequent operations fail with WSAECONNRESET.

He's using Cute FTP, not windows.
No word on whether the suggested solution has been tried.
