  1. Don’t show your public IP address.
  2. Your FTP Server ain’t conffed to allow FTPoTLS. Google for the FTP Server name along with setup tls.

Hi @lixcraft, welcome to the nixCraft forum.

Can you tell us about your OS, version and FTP server name? Typically we recommend using sftpd which is part of OpenSSH (SSHD server) which is secure by default.

Hi Nixcaft, it’s a very old redhat 4 and it’s prod server and we do have sftp users but only this one requests to use ftps and it keeps giving that error. is this something related to cert?
