connection to the sever could not be established or
something else. I cant even get on to

If you are using IE to connect to the site as opposed to a separate ftp
client, in IE< go to Tools, Internet Options, go to the Advanced tab, if
"Use Passive FTP" is selected, de-select it and try again. If it is not
selected, select it and try again. Be sure to hit apply and ok so the
changes take effect.
