    The answer to this may vary depending on what browser or program you're trying to use for the download and type of FTP, but you may find this helpful IF you are using only the native Windows firewall. If you are using a 3rd party firewall you will need to set permissions there. Note also that standard FTP uses Port 21 but there are some variations.

    Are you using your computer? Who owns the server, you, or someone else?

    It's telling you what is wrong, check your security settings. Do you allow everything to be downloaded to your computer?

    Are you allowed access to the server?
