Sorry to say, I paid no attention to this thread the first time around. For some reason the name Filezilla got equated in my brain with Windows. I tend to tune out Windows discussions, but of course there are Filezilla implementations for OS X and for Linux too.
As usual, the devil is in the details. You never told us the details: hostname, username, password, port. My guess is that you tried port 21 (FTP) and not port 22 (SFTP).
The use of FTP has been deprecated for years because it is so insecure. All connection and control conversation between client and server is done in plain text.
On the other hand, SFTP (= Secure File Transfer Protocol) is supported most everywhere. In Linux it's typically implemented in the SSH suite of tools.
Bottom line, there's nothing listening to port 21 on moOde or any other Linux host I use. However, port 22 is open and being listened to by the SFTP server on moOde. It identifies itself as "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.9p1 Raspbian-10+deb10u2".
I just installed Filezilla on my LInux Mint laptop and tried connecting to a moOde player.
Let's try port 21 -
and that's the same response I get if I try to connect to port 21 on the "big iron" Linux server in my basement too. (I would have gotten an equivalent response if I tried to telnet to port 21)
However, let's try port 22 -
Easy peasy.
