Are you sure you have an FTP setup in place on the server you are migrating to? If so, make sure that your FTP server is listening to the port 21 or change WordPress Move’s port setting accordingly.
yes, i have been connecting to the ftp via cyberduck with all the same information…
With Cyberduck (or almost any other FTP client), you can use an SSH account to connect to your server for file transfer (SFTP). WordPress Move, however, requires an actual FTP account and server for file transfer.
The error you are getting means that the plugin was unable to communicate with the server using port 21. So either you don’t have an FTP server installed or the port your FTP server is listening to is not 21.
Even if the file transfer fails, you can always manually download the backup files from /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/ on the server you are migrating from and upload them to /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/ on the server you want to migrate to. Then you simply need to select the Restore option on the Migration Assistant page on the server you are migrating to and complete the migration process.
