Disable the stateful FTP
Using the FTP service on a server behind a firewall creates a set of challenges because of the way FTP works.
Overview
Sometimes, if using FTP & Cloud Actions with a regular FTP or an encrypted FTPS connection, Task may fail unexpectedly with a Lost connection. Disconnected from server error message. Most likely, this happens due to firewall settings. If StatefulFTP option is set to Enable, this may be a cause of the problem. To see current firewall settings, use the following command:
netsh advfirewall show global StatefulFTP
Global Settings:
---------------------------------------------
StatefulFTP Enable
Ok.
Fix connection problem
To fix FTP connection problems, simply use the following command:
netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFTP disable
