  everytime I try to login to my files on WordPress using Filezilla a message appears showing the next message “ECONNREFUSED – Connection refused by server” , I write “ftp.wordpress.com” in the host , my login (documaniac) in the login and my password, but every time I click on connect I get the same message !

  What should I do knowing that I’ve already tried with disabled firewall and antivirus

  Please Help !!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  For starters you don’t have FTP access to any WordPress.COM blogs – no using Filezilla here. It is a security and reliability issue.

  Filezilla can only be used on WordPress.ORG installs.

  You are correct – and adding ads to your site can get your blog suspended.

  You might also review the TOS before you get too far along:

  The answer to that question is in the very first link auxclass gave you. Here’s a hint:

  With WordPress.org you need to install the software on your own server or with a 3rd party provider.
