FileZilla will not connect to the server in Windows 8
I have Windows 8 64-bit on my laptop. When I try to connect to the server with the correct details, FileZilla says "Connection attempt failed with "EACCES - Permission denied".".
FileZilla connects to the server, using the EXACT same login details when I try using it with Windows 7. However I cannot use my Windows 7 computer all the time and my Windows 8 one is my main computer. The full debug report is available below.

It's resolved - it was a problem with the Windows firewall being too secure. My antivirus software automatically made its firewall the default one and now all is well :)
