Personal Solution:

This error mainly belongs to vsFTPD FTP Server where you set passive ports like 40000:50000 and the reason why this error occurs are due to the firewall of the router or VM Cloud Instance like Oracle, Google, AWS or others are blocking these ports. 

You need to open these ports to solve this error. I have added an example screenshot of how to add Ingress Rules in the Security List of Oracle Cloud Instance.
