Error resolved. Just turn off your firewall! and that will do the work.

[Rob Spoor]

Don't turn off your firewall. Instead, add a rule that allows FTP connections. This way you'll still block access you don't want. In other words - don't allow all, only allow what you want.

Thanks thats a much better option! I'll do that!
