Now, can I access this ftp server and its files through Filezilla ? I tried putting 172.22.22.101 in host-tab in site manager in filezilla and it would not connect. Need help !

log lines -
Status: Connecting to 172.22.22.101:21...
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
