I cannot access my sftp/ssh

Posted on September 1, 2013

I cannot access my sftp through either fireftp or filezilla. (the error I get here is Unable to make a connection. Please try again.)

I cannot even access it through putty (Putty say: Network error, connection timed out)

This has been like this for some times now (Though i noticed this after installing GDATA Internet Security, but I have uninstalled it without success as well.

I am using a Internet Connection from my mobile phone hotspot with DHCP.

Please help me
