Unable to FTP to remote site

Question

After upgrading to the Quantum router, I can not FTP to my site using a script that has been working fine for over 10yr.  Here's what happens:
ftp> open {edited for privacy}
connected to {edited for privacy}
Connection refused by remote host
ftp>
I've tried with Filzilla and a Mac terminal.  Normally, the remote host asks for a username and then for the PW.  For some reason, the connection is refused.  I've been on the phone to my hosting company for 2wk tomorrow with no success.  
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong.  Upgrading to the Quantum router and the issue occurred at about the same time, but I can't be sure one caused the other.

Answer 1

Have you tried adjusting the firewall setting in the router?   It may have different settings than your old router.
I was able to connect to that server through my Quantum router.  I've got the firewall set to "typical."
ftp> open {edited for privacy}
Connected to {edited for privacy}.
220 (vsFTPd 2.3.4)
User ({edited for privacy}none)):
331 Please specify the password.
Password:

Login failed.
