Trouble making secure connection through FTP, log inc.

Hi, I am trying to make a secure connection through FTP with my webhost.
Their procedure involves me using Filezilla. Which I do not want to use. I told them I am using WinSCP, and do not want, nor intend to use Filezilla.
Here is their procedure to connect:

1. Open Filezila Client
2. Open File =>Site Manager
a. Click on New Site
b. Click on General Tab => Server Type
c. Select FTPES - FTP over explicit TLS/SSL
3. Input the Login Credentials.
a. Host : Domian Name
b. Port : 21
c. Login Type: Normal
d . User : FTP Username
e. Password : FTP Password
4. Click Connect => OK
5. When you Connect make sure to accept certificate for Secure Encrypted Connection.

Can someone help me to get this going using WinSCP?

When I try connecting,I get the error:
"Could not retrieve directory listing
Illegal PORT command"

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? My webhost will not help me at all unless I'm using filezilla. Thanks.

I have read all the support and help documents, faq, ect. and searched the forum with no comprehensive solution.

WinSCP version: 4.2.7

So can you try to login using Filezilla? If it works, please post its log file.
