Hello,
I'm new to FileZilla) and would need your help.
I entered all the fields correctly (Host, Id, and passwd) but when I try to connect, it shows me at the top left qqs msg:
- cnx to (ad IP) -
- cnx established, waiting for the msg host
- unsecured server, this oneit doesn't support FTP over TLS

(I don't really understand this last msg ??? !!) then it displays a window:
======== (Unsecured FTP connection) ======================
This server does not support FTP over TLS If you continue,
your password and your files will be sent unencrypted to the Internet
Hote: (name Hote)
Port: (Port number)
and (a checkbox) Always allow unsecured FTP for this server

If you could help me .... (I'm not sure what to do)
Thanks bcp.

The best solution is to contact your server administrator or server hosting provider and have him secure the server so that it properly speaks FTP over TLS.

The server does not support secure FTP (FTP over TLS). This is a security risk, as everything is transferred in plain (even passwords). If you accept that risk, you can continue.
It's exactly the same as your web browser warning you when you enter an insecure (not HTTPS) website. Here, you enter an insecure (non-FTPS) FTP server.

The server owners really should enable FTP over TLS, as it is in their own interest, too.
