Re: Anyone else had FTP problems using Hone Internet?

As a photographer and web designer, it's imperative for me to be able to use FTP. Previously, I had no issues with Spectrum, but since switching to the 5G Gateway, I've been facing these problems. Despite contacting T-Mobile's internet tech support, they were unable to offer any assistance, simply directing me to this forum which I had already visited. I've tried several solutions suggested here, but none have resolved the issue. Needless to say, this has been a big bummer, especially given the excellent internet speeds and pricing offered by T-Mobile. This is unfortunate for sure. I use FTP all the time with both MacOS, AND Windows, heck and even Linux with some machines as I run a gaming clan so I have several machines operating over this service. I don’t have any solution other than what’s already been offered here, BUT I will give you some weird talking points that might trigger a thought process or two since you’re apparently versed well enough in tech to try things etc. When I first got the service 3 months ago, NOTHING worked, and I mean anything IPv4 (the usual xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IP stacks) . I could never connect to anything gaming wise due to most games even the AAA ones still using the IPv4 protocol, and not the IPv6 protocol T-Mobile is using for their cellular internet. After many restarts of the black box/ cellular radio model KV021, and even a firmware upgrade, things just started working out of nowhere. I too, tried so many things. what I DID do differently than macOS is my machine’s firewall has ports 21/22 open both inbound and outbound on every machine I’m using FTP on… You cannot mess with ANY of this stuff in the router/cellular radio provided by Tmobile as it’s IPv6 not IPv4 etc. BUT after being sure that every machine I use FTP on has ports 21/22 open in the software firewall of Windows, and Linux (macos also google is your friend on that one) things work. I mean everything. I know this was kinda a rant/novel, but I hope it helps people somehow. Cheers!5Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone else had FTP problems using Hone Internet?

Steps to enable SFTP on FileZilla: OpenFileZilla, clickthe File dropdown menu and select Site Manager Add a new site Select the SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol Enter User,Password and click Connect FileZilla should now connect to you server ;-) You CAN use regular FTP over explicit TLS just fine with T-mobile home internet/filezilla. While some may argue that SFTP is “better” or “more secure” TLS provides plenty of security for non-government/secure ULs/DLs I’ve been using this setting for 5 months now with zero issues and I connect at least 2 times a day on average.

STILL a HUGE issue in 2023. (Omaha, NE area as well and also get Denver CO for location) T-Mobile gets away with border-skirmishes (it’s a thing with ISP’s and has been since the beginning) by showing service in another state that way companies that own rights to the “area” served by T-Mobile home internet cannot pursue legal action. This needs to stop. Either offer us service 100% in the area by GeoLocation you bill us for, or not at all!12Views1like0Comments
