--SOLVED!--

I am trying to log in and transfer using the FTP FileZilla, however I keep receiving the following:
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error: Could not connect to server

I used the following :
http://www.webhostinghub.com/support/website/file-management/create-a-backup-using-ftp

I also tried the following, with no luck (it kept timing out):
http://www.webhostinghub.com/support/website/file-management/connect-securely-to-my-website-via-ftp

I have tried the suggestion for "passive" in this tutorial:
http://www.webhostinghub.com/support/website/getting-started-guides/getting-started-ftp

For my FTP host I have tried the following:
- mydomain.com
- ftp.mydomain.com
- ehub##.webhostinghub.com

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance. Let me know If you need more information.

Just tried WinSCP with no luck either.

---Edit 02 Sept. 10 2011----
Just figured it out. Googled the error "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server" and found out that others had similar problems. For me, it was conflicting with my firewall. Disabling it solves and/or adding it to exceptions list. If anyone should have problems, check out (& scroll to the very bottom):
