Cannot connect to server via FTP FileZilla

[JohnyMST]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to connect to my server but I get an error:

Error:    Could not connect to server

 

I am with Vilayer and I am using the FTP IP Address that they provided on the main page

 

So as my login details I use the following:
FTP Address:195.154.173.91:8821

 

In FileZilla:
Host: 195.154.173.91

Username: username

Password: password

Port: 8821

 

Am I doing this right? should the port be after the " : " from my IP address?

check your settings to see what port its trying to connect to.

 

The default port is 21 so you will prob have to change it to your port 8821

ignore me lol. i just read you have your port set at 8821... thats what not enough sleep does to you :|

what software are you using to connect?

 

This is how my connection looks like:

Try using your username that you log in to the cpanel instead of root. I think root is only used for the mysql
