The "FTP connection error 10060" is a Winsock error code (WSAETIMEDOUT) indicating that the connection attempt timed out. This means your FTP client tried to establish a connection with the FTP server, but the server did not respond within the expected timeframe. It implies that either the server is not reachable, is overloaded, or a network device (like a firewall) is blocking the connection.
