FTPS file transfer sometime works, but sometime not

#1 Post by andrewlim » 2018-12-13 09:50

Hi, I have 2 client which is using the same setting. One client got no problem at all, but another one can only successfully transfer file after try for few times. the file can be seen in the directory, but the content is empty. In the log file, i found that whenever it successfully transfer, "TLS connection for data connection" will be shown in between the BOLD sentence, but when the error happen, the log file will show as below. I tested in ftptest.net, here is the result: "Your server is working and assorted routers/firewalls have been correctly configured for explicit FTP over TLS as performed by this test. However there have been warnings about compatibility issues, not all users will be able to use your server", can you advise on it?

The used client software is outdated, do you still experience this after updating the client software?

i just updated the client software. But the error still happen. Anything else that i need to do on firewall side for both incoming and outgoing connection instead of allow the mentioned port like 990, 21 and the hosting IP?

Many more ports are needed. Please study our Network Configuration guide for a concise overview.
