Cannot connect over FTP with FileZilla

Hi all,

I’ve been having trouble all day connecting to the 000webhost file server with FileZilla. I am using the following credentials:

site: ask53test.000webhostapp.com
host: files.000webhost.com
username: ask53test
password: i reset it to use 8 lowercase letters, no special characters
port: 21 [or leaving it blank]

I am consistently getting the log:

Status: Resolving address of files.000webhost.com
Status: Connecting to [2a02:4780:dead:beef::4]:21…
Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Could not connect to server

Any thoughts? Thanks and apologies for asking such a user-specific question!
Take care,
aaron

Sorry, solved my own issue. For some reason it was taking longer than 20s to connect, so the connection was timing out. However extending the timeout under Edit -> Settings -> Connection -> “Timeout in seconds” allowed FileZilla to connect.
Thanks!
