It stays on this and doesn't progress any further, my other FTP server works fine. I have tried changing modes, i've forwarded ports 6000-7000 in my router. Tried everything I could have from other sources. Disabled my firewall, reinstalled FileZilla and this problem still occurs. If it makes any difference i am setting up this FTP for a hosted Minecraft server, the working server uses Multicraft 2.0.1 and the non-working one uses Multicraft 2.2.1.

In terms of network topology, where is the server located in relation to the client?

[Mercifiyer]

I'm in Sydney the server is hosted in Melbourne, 1200km difference.

Okay, in this case your client isn't configured correctly for active mode FTP. Please study our Network Configuration guide and use the built-in network configuration wizard to test your configuration. Or alternatively, use passive mode in which only the server requires configuration.

I've been through that and it hasn't worked and is still giving me the 503 error

That's an error not shown before. Please post a log showing the error.

If you get this error then there's still some firewall or NAT router interfering with the connection. It is possible that your ISP operates such thing, in which case you cannot use active mode FTP at all.

[Mercifiyer]

It still gives me the error even on passive mode.

[botg]

The test always tests active mode. Client-side passive mode requires no configuration.

This is what I get and it just stays on this.

Could be a server-side issue. Please test your server on https://ftptest.net/
