Anyone else had FTP problems using Hone Internet?
I am testing T-M Home Internet and although it has Ben generally good so far, I just ran into a problem when I attempted a routine FTP upload using CyberDuck to a website I maintain. When I try to connect I get an Interoperability Failure message. My ISP says the website is fine and they are able to FTP to it and it t seems I have some kind of communication or network problem.
What are other people’s experiences doing FTP on T-M Home Internet?
SUCCESS AT LAST!
I have finally learned how to switch macOS Cyberduck from passive to active mode, and it is now working on the gray tower-TM Home Internet.
For anyone else in the same situation, here is how to do it.
(1) Edit a bookmark rather than just opening a connection. This will show a “More Options” drop-down.
(2) Open “Connect Mode” and select“Active (PORT)”
I am just hoping T-M does not make any changes that will stop this from working…
When FTPing I have to use my NordVPN service. It works without any problems.
Who’s your host? I’ve never had to con to upload via ftp
Having VPN constantly running is the only way I can make FTP or updates to my website to work. Gotta be a better way.

I have been using T-Mobile 5G internet for 10 days now and haven't been able to use FTP either generic, filezilla nor WinSCP. I use ftp at least twice a month and need this corrected or I will need to return to my slow DSL line with CenturyLink.
I have CenturyLink and never had issues connecting with FTP. Switched to T-Mobile Home internet and immediately couldn’t connect. I maintain about 15 websites so it’s imperative that i get it working. I tried unchecking passive and no go. Finally after using SFTP it works fine. In the server address use: sftp://SERVERIPAddress and it worked perfect. I’m back in business!! It works in Filezilla and also Transmit on Mac.

I’m having the same PASV issue with FTP not working through the KVD21. The security system notifications uses this making this sort of a no-go unless I can find some sort of workaround.
Same problem trying to FTP to my web site was not working until I used SFTP. My web site provider only uses SFTP. Everything was OK after that.
Thanks to jayke for his advice. I’ve been really frustrated with this problem. I maintain 3 sites, 2 with one provider and a 3d with another. I had no problem with FileZilla client and these sites with phone company DSL. Switched to TM Home Internet and problems began with the 2 sites but not the other. I would connect, but it was really slow trying to get into directories and would eventually time out with something like “4125 Users connected--too many.” I communicated with my ISP and he had no trouble FTPing to the sites. Finally, I went to the library and used their WiFi and everything worked great. So, it had to be the TM gateway. But I can’t go to the library whenever I need to maintain a site.
Following jayke’s advice just now I tried FileZilla on both sites I maintain and in the Site Manager dialog box’s Transfer Settings tab changed “Transfer Mode” from “Default” to “Active” and everything seems to be working. I can get into directories quickly and upload files.
I wish TM had a better way to disseminate information like this. Actually, I wish they would FIX THE GATEWAY so it wouldn’t be an issue going forward.
Thanks again, jayke.
I had FTP failures with NCH Classic FTP.
Switched to Filezilla and works well.
Black gateway.
This appears to be happening with my setup as well. Here’s my story:
I am running a Linux webserver on my local network. I used to upload to a webservice that I run to post data. Since I switched my router which was on Cox to the T-Mobile gateway the service failed. When connecting via ftp (ftp -v -n satwatcher.us) I was getting this error:
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 14 of 150 allowed.
220-Local time is now 13:32. Server port: 21.

The syslog errors I’m getting look like this:

Apr 5 00:07:17 WeewxWeatherServer weewx[6678] DEBUG weeutil.ftpupload: 0 ./dayradiation.png de3f1218ef30538449b2abc9ef9307dd622c82d61c61bd3a398a5b394a908201

Does anyone have any ideas of what I should try?
Thanks!
