Connection to server through ftp port

Can anyone tell me why the following exception comes when I want to connect to a server through ftp. Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect. I want to read a .csv file which is placed at this server.

Could be some firewall issue. Does it work when ftp'ed by hand?
