Connection error

I get the following error when I attempt to connect to the server:

An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

Can anyone please tell me why I get this and how I could possibly resolve it? I'm not too hot with this stuff as you can tell...

Thanks

There is no ftp server on that host.

I am having the same problem, but the strange thing is, out of the ten people that use the ftp server(it is a private server on a friends comp) i am the only one that can not access it, i am in a network where the Internet goes into computer A and through it, then to my computer( and i can't get to it on either of the computers. all firewalls are off, and i have also just tried to use the IE to access(i have it able to view ftp in IE) and i get this error:

FTP Folder Error
Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.

Details:
The connection with the server was reset
