Cannot connect to server

#1 Post by Murali » 2021-05-15 08:27

While trying to connect to my site from my PC I am getting the following error message when I use the site manager:
Status: Connecting to ftpupload.net...
Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=10
Command: open "b8_25505968@ftpupload.net" 22
Error: FATAL ERROR: Connection refused
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to ftpupload.net...
Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=10
Command: open "b8_25505968@ftpupload.net" 22
Error: FATAL ERROR: Connection refused
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Disconnected from server

Why does this happen and how can it be resolved?

You selected SFTP (based on SSH2) as protocol. Are you sure there is an SFTP server at that location?

For FTPS (FTP over TLS), set FTP as protocol.

Please double-check your login credentials, watch our for character case and leading/trailing whitespace. Contact your server administrator or server hosting provider for further assistance if the issue persists.
