Always getting FTPeS errors .. contd
Author: Ramgopal M.More on my earlier post with subject line - Always getting FTPeS errors
Today - I faced the problem again of FTPeS. I tried the workaround solution posted earlier.
"I looked around for to find how to get the certificate from the FTP host. Firefox has fire-ftp add on. I installed that add-on. Did a ftpes to the site. Stored the exception certificate. Now I had the certificate . Used the Firefox - options - advanced -certificates - view certificates -export . Opened Internet Explorer as administrator. Tools - Options - Content - Certificates - Import and pointed to the file I had. Used automatically select certificate store as I know no better. "
fire-ftp gave an error this time. "521 Data connection cannot be opened with this PROT setting." .
I anyhow did the steps outlined above and it worked for me once again . I hope this helps others facing the same problem.
A little bit of google on this error tells me that setting PROT P is the solution to this problem and this is perhaps the solution the websiteX5 issue. I do not have the means to test this solution.
Can someone check this setting ? Please let me know if I can help in any manner . I can set up a site for testing this if required.

Hello Ramgopal M.,
Thank you for sharing the solution. Probably the certificate type used by the hosting is the cause of this issue.
Many thanks!
