Ok, well Im trying to upload a theme for wordpress, but I can’t get FTP access to my subdomain (huge thanks to yeldarb for hosting). My sub domain is “[applejelly.7rue.com](http://applejelly.7rue.com)”. I enter “[applejelly.7rue.com](http://applejelly.7rue.com)” into the address bar, and my user and pass in the the apropriate boxes. filezilla has set the port to 21. I try to connect, and it says the server software closed the connection. Do I need privileges to create a new database to be able to upload? any help would be great!
