Not sure if this is the right forum, so pardon me if it's not.

I did a search all over the place and couldn't find this answer. I'm trying to use an FTP client (FileZilla to be specific) for a website I'm taking over. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to FTP but I'm learning. Anyway, followed tons of guides, forum posts and whatnot for Filezilla specifically, but each time I test my connection, it times out.

I've forwarded the necessary ports, added Filezilla to allow incoming connections on the Firewall, told it my external IP, and done everything else as the configuration wizard says. Still it times out.

Any idea? Also, should I be using some other FTP client?

Thanks a ton.
