FTP in as a user who has write access to /etc/hosts.allow.  Download that
file and add to it:
sshd: ALL

the reupload it.  Remember to ADD the line to the file, not just replace the
contents with that one line, otherwise you may lock yourself out completely.

This is typically what you'll get if you have turned on tcpwrappers but not
allowed the host you want to connect from.
