Other Information
I am able to access my files via Filezilla, but I am concerned as to why the session seem to be no longer able to use TLS. My SSL certificates for the website are current.
This is what I see when I try to connect to the FTP server:
Status: Resolving address of ftpupload.net
Status: Connecting to 185.27.134.11:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

So our FTP server does support TLS, and this does work.
FileZilla is very wise to warn you about this. Because this is not OK, and this could mean that someone is trying to hack your FTP connection.
If you see this, whatever you do, do not proceed with the connection.
And if you did, you should reset your hosting account password immediately because an attacker may have stolen it.
The screenshot you have look like the Ubuntu font, so I’m going to assume that there is no “”“security”“” software on your device trying to spy on you.
You could try to connect over a VPN in case something on your network is trying to intercept the FTP connection.
Thanks for that information.
I am indeed working on a Ubuntu system, and agree that it is not a likely target for spying software.
I have changed the password as you suggest.
I have recently changed ISPs and am wondering whether they might be blocking somehow. I note this thread where the “Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.” message is visible in attempts to access the ISP’s own FTP site. (ISP name is TPG)
The link you shared should only be relevant if you’re using the hosting provided by TPG.
But it could be that the issues you’re seeing is the result of switching ISPs. Your new ISP may be running additional parental control filtering, or may be shipping a router that’s configured in a different way. Some routers want to “optimize” FTP connections, and end up breaking them as a result.
Have you tried to connect over a VPN already to see if it’s something on your network?
I have no experience with VPNs so will take some time to get on top of that suggestion.
I have also solved my immediate upload requirement uploading a folder at a time using Monsta, so I will defer further work on this to another day.
Thanks
