Sorry about that :D
The web server had a misconfiguration that disallowed FTP Access.
I thought everyone was on crack since my file transfers worked fine. Well I realized that I don't use FTP (I use SSH which is a secure form of FTP).
Once I tried standard FTP I was also unable to connect.
I've fixed the issue and you should be able to connect now.
BTW, may I suggest you look into a secure FTP program to allow SSHFTP connections so your passwords don't go out over the internet in clear text.
Two Windows programs that I know of are:
"SecureFX"

CuteFTP Pro
http://www.cuteftppro.com/cuteftppro/
In Linux you can use about 20 different FTP over SSH clients (all free)
If I ever get around to it, I will setup FTP over SSL which is included in the free and excellent program SmartFTP

If anyone out there has experience setting up ProFTPD with SSL certificates I would appreciate your input.
:thumbsup:
