You need to provide more info, but it is possible you are trying to access a site through a firewall. If that is the case, you can either open TCP port 20 inbound, or in your FTP program find the 'passive' FTP setting. This prevents the server from trying to open a connection back to your computer.

It was unable to establish a connect to the FTP server. Maybe you have the address wrong, or the server is down/rejecting connections.
