On Uploading media MP3 via FTP found connection refused or timed out error

Updated: 11 October 2026 · Applies to: Centova Cast v3

"Connection refused" or "timed out" when uploading music by FTP means your FTP program cannot reach Centova Cast's FTP server.

Check

1. Use your Centova Cast server's host name or IP address and FTP port 21 (not your streaming port).
2. Make sure the FTP service is running. As root on the server: /etc/init.d/centovacast start-ftp (or restart Centova Cast).
3. Make sure a firewall allows port 21 and the passive FTP port range.
