Hello EnterpriseDT,
We have recently not been unable to connect to our server using ftp port 21 with out doing the following below. Nothing has changed on our server. All ports are right for firewall settings.
Is there any way in settings to fix this issue?
Thanks,
FileZilla is using FTP over TLS encryption and we recently can not connect to the completeftp server without doing the following settings below.
