I was just trying to see if tls was the issue that is why i disabled it when trying to connect but the error messages still remain
Other Information
for like the past week when i have been trying to upload files to the website it takes forever and sometimes some of the files do not upload when i just drag them all to upload so i have to sometimes be going one by one to upload the files. the entirety of my files are in php, js and css and the size of all of them total is like 2.5mb
First of all, you should totally do this. Otherwise your password is just going over the Internet in plain text.
Unfortunately the FTP servers do kill connections after 20 seconds. It works fine for me so it’s probably because you have rather slow Internet; try using a VPN to see if that helps.
I don’t really know what do you mean by “drag them all to upload” because this process at the end of the day still uploads the files one by one. If it is indeed to problem then it could also be your connection being slow.
This looks to me like the connection is working fine until the connection switches to passive mode. This could be caused by a router intercepting the connection to “fix” FTP, and breaking this in the process. This is also alluded to in our FTP troubleshooting article (although the instructions are pretty vague because it really depends on your network as for how to do it).
I fully agree with @Meishin that you should use FTP over Explicit TLS. If that doesn’t work, the problem is usually that something is hijacking the FTP connection and that is a red flag that you absolutely do need that security of TLS.
This looks like a clear case of something on your network messing with the FTP connection that’s causing your issues. You may want to try to connect over a VPN or use a different network and see if that helps.
