why can’t I FTP to my server from my own computer?
This is a very strange thing. I recently just got a domain name and some server space hosted by a friend. When I was at home, everything worked great, I could upload files using FTP and all that. Then, I moved back to school (I’m a college student) and for some reason, the same settings, user/pass I used at home don’t work on my computer at school. The connection just times out when I try to FTP to my server. However, it works on any other computer besides my own. The website isn’t down or anything either, it works fine and loads fine when I access it. It’s just FTPing to it. I’m running Windows XP, and typically use Filezilla to upload files.
I should clarify that I can’t FTP with any software. Although I use Filezilla primarily, I couldn’t FTP even using IE or Firefox or other FTP client.
