Given the output error you presented, it seems like you were unable to connect your remote FTP server from some reason.
For more detailed responses I would suggest also to try connecting using the terminal, as you can actually see the process of the client request and response from the server. This will also help understand if the problem is the usage of the file manager or the connection itself.
Simply open the terminal and type: ftp your_server_IP_address , or ftp your_server_domain_name . Also add user@ before the ip or domain if it is user protected.
If you get an error about being unable to resolve the target name or IP, you might have a network problem or the connection is being blocked from some reason.
