When using the FTPPutFile> command I get the FTPResult: [500 ESocketException: Error 10061 in function Connect
Connection refused] This script had been working for several months without any problems. I have not made any changes to the script and I can still ftp the files manually with FileZilla. Any ideas on what is causing this?

According to:

Question/Problem: WSAECONNREFUSED (10061) Connection refused

Answer/Solution: Connection refused. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host.

User suggestions: Either you went to the wrong host, or the server application you're trying to contact isn't executing. Check the destination address you are using. If you used a hostname, did it resolve to the correct address? If the hostname resolution uses a local hosttable, it's possible you resolved to an old obsolete address. It's also possible that the local services file has an incorrect port number (although it's unlikely).

Could also be your firewall.
