I am trying to connect to FTP server using FileZilla. I get the following sequence of messages.

Status: Resolving address of <myhostname> 
Status: Connecting to <myhostip>:23...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:   ÿý%ÿûÿûÿý'ÿýÿý
Error:  Could not connect to server

However I am able to connect using FTP protocol in windows explorer. I need to copy a large file, it fails on windows and FileZilla is not working. Can anybody offer me any solution to the reason why I am getting such a garbled message?

    Did you specify port 23? Is that the port your FTP server is running on? Typically that is Telnet, not FTP.

Port 21 is FTP in a default configuration, not 23.
