Connection attempt failed with “ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server” [closed]

Answer 1

FTP protocol may be blocked by your ISP firewall, try connecting via SFTP (i.e. use 22 for port num instead of 21 which is simply FTP).

Answer 2

I solved this error

A connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server"

by changing my port to 22 that was successful

Answer 3

For me, I was receiving this error when connecting to the new IP Address I had configured FileZilla to bind to and saved the configuration. After trying all of the other answers unsuccessfully, I decided to connect to the old IP Address to see what came up; lo and behold it responded.

I restarted the FileZilla Windows Service and it immediately came back listening on the correct IP. Pretty elementary, but it cost me some time today as a noob to FZ.

Hopefully this helps someone out in the same predicament.

Answer 4

Use port number 22 (for sftp) instead of 21 (normal ftp). Solved this problem for me.
