Failing to set up FTP client

#1 Post by david catchpole » 2016-12-02 20:47

can anybody help please. I have used Filezilla for sometime to upload files to my host site Hostpapa. Now I cannot get a connection, below is the dialogue I am receiving back.
Status: Connecting to 64.34.157.150:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status: Initializing TLS...
Status: Verifying certificate...
Status: TLS connection established.

Response: 500 I won't open a connection to 86.157.204.155 (only to 86.155.187.165)

Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (64,34,157,150,23,124)

When I tried to use the Wizard to test the connection I got the following:
Checking for correct external IP address
Retrieving external IP address from http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php
Checking for correct external IP address

Looks like a firewall, probably server-side, is interfering with the connection.
