When use the 's' in host name when setting up Site Manager

#1 Post by aughhhhh » 2023-02-25 18:36

My new website host (Turbify) has a system that generates the host name I should use for FileZilla. It does NOT include the 's'. It uses only ftp.example.com. Not ftps or sftp.

On their website it says " All FTP sessions require an FTPS connection along with TLS 1.2 protocol support for increased system security."

On FileZilla's site is says " FileZilla: supports all of ...
standard FTP
FTP over TLS (= FTPS i think)
SFTP

But I cannot get a connection with/without the 's' in ftp, no matter if I specify "use explicit FTP over TLS if available" or "require explicity FTP over TLS"

The hostname itself is completely independent from the used protocol. If is customary to hint at a protocol in a hostname, but it has no actual meaning.


What does it say in the message log if you attempt to connect?
