I updated my website about 2 months ago with no problems. Now, I made a few changes to the actual site and upon hitting "Start" to upload, I get an error - "Unable to connect to server. Please check with your internet provider that you have the correct connection information."
I have visited GoDaddy and verified my information and all the boxes are filled out correctly (nothing has changed since the last upload)
Some one please help as I have very little knowledge in this field

If you don't want your own web address to be named, then use the example web address example.org.

Are there any problems being reported in website/admin ‘website test’?

Nothing at all. I've even tried erasing and re-writing the perameters manually. I've checked the info on my hosting site to make sure all the info was correct as well.

If you replace the FTP address with the domain name does it work? (ie xxxxx.com)
I have only ever needed the IP address for FTP before the domain name was recognised.
Maybe change would be good here?
Consider checking with your provider the possibility of SFTP or FTPS (both, more secure methods of communicating over the internet).
I would recommend that you follow the providers instructions for making such connections, and use them in Step 5 > FTP & DB connection parameters.
And yes, do not use http:// https:// ftp:// or alike in the server configuration, unless told otherwise.
Ich can find this information.

You can test the FTP access with the FTP program FileZilla to see whether the data in the parameters is correct. A small guide to this is also on the PDF file linked above on page 29.
Jayson, along with all of the other suggestions, if you are running any third party antivirus/malware/vpn or firewall products, please either temporarily uninstall or disble them and test again. This type of problem is frequently from a "false positive" detection.
You may also wish to attempt to browse destination before starting the upload.

It is great to hear the problem is resolved.
Please don’t forget to mark this thread as ‘resolved’.
Thank you, Jayson.
