The ioFTPD master account can only login from 127.0.0.1 unless you change that. Assuming you ARE local and trying to talk to the server on the same machine one of two things are happening:

1) You are accessing it via mydns.net (assuming you shortened it to eliminate your actual hostname) and this resolved to your external IP. In this case you will connect but because you're not using 127.0.0.1 you WILL get the error you are seeing. For local connections use the 127 addr, and for remote add the mydns name to the ioFTPD account.

2) You edited the MS windows hosts file incorrectly. You can see all sorts of weird things if you goof this file up.
