The minor difference is pointed out in the screenshot below: This is dependent on the remote server having SSL support and acceping FTPS connections, which most servers do. If you want to connect to secured FTPS server, all you need to do is prefix the domain with ftps:// rather than ftp://. If you want to use a secured connection instead you just need to make a tiny modification, which we’ll discuss next. Here is what starting a standard FTP connection will look like: Enter the FTP username and password, or connect as “Guest” if the server allows guest connections and click on “Connect” again.Click on “Connect” and wait to connect to the remote server.Optional: If you want to add a bookmark to ‘Favorite Servers’ for repeated connections, click on the + icon next to the “Server Address” field.Enter the address of the ftp server in the following format:.

From your Mac desktop or Finder, hit Command+K to pull up the “Connect to Server” window (alternatively, you can access this from the “Go” menu).Regardless, here’s how to start an FTP connection from Mac OS X to a remote server: Try overriding something like fail2ban.If you want to test this by connecting to a real server, use and login as a Guest. Try disabling any firewall software on your computer. iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -dport 22 -j ACCEPTĪt least one of those works, worst case scenario one fails. Let’s assume 22 from this point forward, though use your findings in #2 to inform otherwise.

If it’s on another port and still fails the same, move on as well. Log in via web console and run this: netstat -tulpnĭo you see SSH? Is it on port 22? If not, try using the other port. While firewall can block ping too, I doubt you’ve done anything to block ICMP packets. Ping the droplet, see if you get a response.

Let’s break those possibilities down a bit. I can’t say for sure which or which combination, but the timeout provides a clear indication that it is not directly based on login at that stage (though #5 would imply that it was in previous errors).

Something like fail2ban on the server blocked your IP for a period of time after a few failed logins.

The client computer has SSH port blocked for outbound traffic.

The server’s firewall has the SSH port blocked for inbound traffic.

The SSH service is listening on a different port (not 22).

Based on the provided information, it is my opinion that one or more of these is true:
