Guys,
If you get this type of error message, please check the server's firewall first. I have faced this error message during connecting to the FTP server. In my case passive ports ranges were not enabled in the FTP and iptables firewall.
====
PassivePortRange 30000 50000
====
Add the above line in the ftp configuration file and enable them in the iptables like :
=====
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 30000:50000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --source-port 30000:50000 -j ACCEPT
=====
Then restart iptables and ftp server like :
====
service iptables restart
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart
====
If above solutions don't work please configure CSF+LFD firewall on the server and stop iptables. This will solve the problem.
Another important point is that you may connect to the server through "active mode [server will connect to the client]" through the FTP client(like filezilla). Just enable the option a the FTP client and retry to connect. That's it.
