The FTP or SCP server’s IP address cannot be contacted.
Verify that you can connect to the FTP server. Use your local PC to connect to the FTP server or
ping the FTP server.

C:\> ping 192.163.163.50

If your ping is successful from your computer, but you cannot reach it from inside your data
center, there could be a block on the firewall to not allow FTP connections from inside the data
center. Contact your network administrator to determine if this is the cause and to resolve it by
opening the port up on both inbound and outbound UDP and TCP traffic.
