Can't connect to FTP

Here's the message I get from gFTP when I try and connect to my server

I've also tried connect to server from the Places menu and it won't connect either. If I drop out of Ubuntu and boot back into windows I can connect just fine. Anyone have any ideas what's going on here? I thought t first it might be something in iptables on this end but I ran iptables --flush, as well as set up rules allowing anything from my server

Maybe it will help to know that when I try and use the upload feature in Wordpress and to upload a file from my Ubuntu partition it times out and I get an error message from Wordpress that say "http error"

Hello, I have the same problem. Anyway it only happens with some ftp servers. Some are working, some aren't and I could not find a clear answer for that.

I've given up on it - I just use Places - Connect to Server now.

Have you checked your ftp server logs somewhere under /var ?
