Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".

Please suggest me solution.

Why FTP is not connecting?

Your firewall could be blocking it. Ensure you have the IP address in your welcome email for hostname (only the numbers; don't add FTP, www, or anything else). Make sure your username and password are the same as your control panel username and password. Some FTP programs require a path to connect.

I had this error too. My domian name was a subdomain like xxx.yyy.com And cpanel ftp configuration guided me that ftp server is ftp.xxx.yyy.com Fillzilla was unable to connect and showed this error:

Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".

This error is for dns resolving. I just removed "ftp." from ftp.xxx.yyy.com and it works now

Remove "ftp." from HOST name. e.g. if your website is http://www.example.com & you are using "ftp.example.com" then try with "example.com" only as host name.... it simply worked with me!
