Hai, If you are trying to login from a distant location - open the command prompt and give the following command "ping -l 2 -t " . This command will keep the connection with server active. Try to login to the ftp server from another command prompt. After the ftp session is completed you can terminate that connection by pressing Cntrl+c.
If you are trying to connect from the local network check you ftp server configuration and you have sufficient permission.
