The 10061 error is caused when the server is refusing the connection.

Connect to an alternate FTP address.

If you can connect to other FTP addresses, the site generating error 10061 is refusing to accept your connection because of security privileges or because it's not an FTP server.

If you cannot connect to any address, it's likely an issue with the network or computer configuration.

  1. Ensure that the network configuration settings are properly setup and FTP rights.
  2. Verify that the computer and router firewall is properly setup to allow FTP access.
