Cannot connect to server

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.
