I'm unable to connect with FTP, the log looks like this:

I looked at the following article, which told me to change my connection from PORt to PASV, or vice-versa, and did so. It did not make a difference:
"An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. Software caused connection abort
This error can occur when the local network system aborts a connection, such as when WinSock closes an established connection after data retransmission fails (receiver never acknowledges data sent on a data stream socket), possibly due to a data transmission timeout or protocol error.
You may try to set the Connection Timeout higher (Default: 60s). If the problem persists change the Data Connection Mode in the Settings->Connection dialog from "Port Mode (PORT)" to "Passive Mode (PASV)" or vice versa."
Then I looked on the forum for similar articles, and there were many, but they all ended with either a referral to the above article, a referral to an article about firewalls interfering, or stating that the firewall was interfering. My only firewall is the windows XP one, and I tried disabling it, briefly, but it did not work. SFTP is also an exception for that firewall, for the record.
I'm at a dorm, so it's possible that the college is blocking port 21, I guess? If anyone knows any other possible causes or solutions, please let me know. Thank you.
