Error During Initial Deploy via FTP (Connection refused - connect(2))

Attempting the first deploy using FTP on a client's site, I get the following error:

Connecting manually via Net::FTP works fine. Sorry that I don't have more info for you.

Hey Casey,

I'm wondering if this could be a result of active vs. passive FTP modes. Net::FTP defaults to active but Dandelion uses passive mode unless specified otherwise in the configuration file (initially convenient for my use case, but likely a design mistake). Do you get the same results if you explicitly set passive: false in the config file?

Thanks!
