Type the FTP server, your username and password into the appropriate fields to double check that you have not made any typing errors. Click the 'Connect' button or press 'Enter' to try once more.
Verify your FTP server address if you cannot make a connection. Some servers require you to type 'ftp.domain.com,' where 'domain.com' is the actual domain name. Other servers do not require the subdomain 'ftp.' Try both variations.
Add the domain name to your username. For example 'yourusename@domain.com' may work while simply 'yourusername' will not ('yourusername' and 'domain.com' are stand-ins for the actual values).
Download and install another FTP client, such as FileZilla or CuteFTP. Enter your server information and credentials to see if the new program can establish a connection.
Disable the Windows firewall, if it is enabled. Open the Start Menu and type 'Firewall' into the search box to bring up the Windows Firewall option. Click the 'Firewall' link and click 'Turn Windows Firewall On or Off.' Enter your password if prompted and click 'Turn off Windows Firewall' under each network connection before clicking 'OK.'

Microsoft FTP Error CodesIn Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
Error code 426 happens when you're uploading or downloading to an FTP site and the transfer aborted. The error would say, 'Connection closed, transfer aborted.' It could mean that the connection was made in a passive mode: Your computer tried to connect to the server through a random port, but was blocked by the server's firewall. It could also mean that a firewall in your computer blocked the session. When you get this error, ensure that no firewall is blocking the connection.
Error Code 530
This error code means that FTP authentication was not successful. The combination of the username and password you've typed was incorrect, thus you were denied access to the FTP site. It could also mean a misconfiguration in IIS: You've allowed only anonymous access for FTP, but denied anonymous access for all IIS services. Verify that the username and password you used is correct or check if anonymous access is allowed by leaving the username and password options blank.
Error Code 550
This error is generated when you're downloading or uploading a file to the FTP site. When you're attempting to download a file and you get a 550 error, it means that the file you're downloading is no longer in the FTP directory. When you're uploading, it means that you do not have the right access to upload a file to the FTP site. Verifying that the file exists or that you have the proper access to put files in the FTP site eliminates this error.
Other 4xx Error Codes
Error codes that start in 4 mean that the error is temporary. Trying again at a later time and ensuring that there is enough disk space and that nothing is interfering with the connection will often resolve the error.421: The FTP service is not available at the moment. It can be because the maximum FTP connection is reached or you are not authorized to connect through FTP.425: You cannot open a connection. A firewall could be blocking the connection or the type of connection you're trying is not allowed. Try different methods of FTP connection such as having FTP software or connecting to FTP through HTTP.450: The file you're trying to access cannot be copied. Other users or programs may be using the file, causing it to lock. You can try again later to see if the file has been released.451: There was an error in the command typed for the FTP connection. Ensure that the commands you typed are correct.452: Not enough disk space exists in the hard drive that you're downloading or uploading the file. Cleaning up the hard drive resolves this issue.
Other 5xx Error Codes
Error codes that start in 5 mean that the error is permanent. Retrying will only result with the same error.500: A syntax error could mean that the command line is too long. Try either the FTP passive or active mode depending on the mode you're currently using.501: There was an error with the command you typed. You may have missed or mistyped some characters.503: The commands you typed were not in the proper sequence.504: There was an error in the parameter with the command. Make sure that the parameter you entered is valid for the command.532: You do not have the proper access to store files remotely.552: There's not enough space on the server that you're remotely saving the file. 553: The file you're uploading has invalid characters. Renaming the file resolves the issue.

How to Troubleshoot Network Connection IssuesIn Feburary 2016 08,
In Feburary 2016 08,
Determine whether the problem has to do with the network connection. For example, are you trying to access a webpage and your browser keeps prompting you with a 'Page cannot be displayed' error? Use a major search engine to find an alternate link to your original destination. If that works, then there is most likely a problem with the website and not with the network connection.
Check your computer's physical connection to the network. This will require you to check your data jack or Ethernet cable. Verify which port your Ethernet cable is connected to. In many cases, network connection issues can be resolved by checking to see if the correct cables are being used, or if they are plugged in the right places. In addition, you should test your router to make sure that it is working properly.
Find the network connections setting within your operating system if it's not a physical connection issue. In Windows 7, right-click the 'Internet Access' icon (appears as several vertical bars) in the task bar and select 'Troubleshoot problems.' The Windows Network Diagnostics dialog appears. When prompted what type of networking problem you're experiencing, click on 'I'm trying to reach a specific website or folder on a network.' Then enter the address or path you are trying to connect to.In Mac OS X, go to 'System Preferences' and click on 'Network.' Select the built-In Ethernet option, and click on 'Configure.'
Examine your firewall to confirm that it doesn't prevent you from connecting to the network. In many cases, your settings may be too high. You can also disable any background applications that may be running and preventing you from accessing the network. In a worst-case scenario, you may have a virus other malware that prevents you from properly accessing your network.
Contact your department's or campus technical support (IT) staff if your issues still have not been resolved. There may be something else that is wrong that needs to be addressed. Hopefully they will be able to troubleshoot your network connection issue.

How to Fix an FTP ConnectionIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Conduct a system scan for any computer viruses, spyware or malware. These problems will affect Internet performance and could interrupt an FTP connection. Consult the documentation included with the various computer scanning programs for directions on how to run a full system scan.
Verify that the user name and password used in the FTP connection options are correct. This information is available from the hosting company inside the account's control panel.
Verify that the connection type is correct. Some FTP clients will allow you to connect using an anonymous connection, normal connection or account connection. Start by choosing to use the normal connection. Check with your hosting provider if you are unsure of which connection type to choose and need additional assistance.
Contact your Internet service provider about the FTP connection problem to inquire whether it has any special settings or programs that are required for use.
Check the firewall settings on your computer to see whether the FTP client is on a list of blocked programs. Windows firewall settings are updated upon installation of the FTP client. However, other antivirus programs, such as Eset Nod 32, will require you to manually configure a list of sites that may access the Internet freely.
