I would go here Open Port Check Tool and check to see if the port is actually open, maybe it's a config or ISP issue.

Is this server on a residential Internet service? Like Rogers or Bell? They have a tendancy to block those ports.

Is it behind a statull router doing NAT? Make sure that is set up to properly handle FTP traffic.

Bell and rogers don't block port 22, fortunately. It is probably on the server side. Is it dedicated hosting?

yup I got it figured out. it was indeed on the server's side (they basicly wanted me to use there online program)

thanks for all your help :D:D
