Problem

Warning

Your FTP connection fails to connect and/or you receive a timeout error

Solution

Your connection may be getting blocked by your own or CPR’s firewall or CPR’s access rules.

...

Verify that a, if any, local firewall allows outbound traffic in accordance with Hostnames og porte https://cprservicedesk.atlassian.net/l/c/ixGoCdEs

Please also note that the firewall must be open for outbound traffic in the port interval stated in “passive ports”.

Solution: Have your firewall team open for outbound traffic in accordance with Hostnames og porte https://cprservicedesk.atlassian.net/l/c/ixGoCdEs

Note

Your IP address may be blocked by geolocation rules

...

Note

You may be using an unsupported protocol and/or cipher

Supporterede ciphers og protokoller https://cprservicedesk.atlassian.net/l/c/QtCgB1XJ

Solution: Update your FTP-client and/or OS in order to support supported protocols and ciphers.

Note

You may be using the wrong protocol (sftp versus ftps)

The FTP server supports both SFTP andFTPS, and it is fairly easy to mistake the two protocols.

FTPS: You are using a username and password to login.

SFTP: You have provided CPR with your SSH certificate, and have received a message stating that the certificate have been added to the CPR ftp certificate store.

Note: If you are not an it-professional it is not recommended to use SFTP.

Endpoints for both SFTP and FTPS are listed here: https://cprservicedesk.atlassian.net/l/c/RSzJQpAF

Solution: Configure your ftp-client to use the right protocol.

Note

You successfully login, but then get a timeout

You can log in successfully and your firewall team says that your firewall is open outbound on the FTP port. However, it is likely that your firewall is not open outbound for the ports used for the data transfers.

...

Passive FTP is always used and the FTP servers are set to use a fixed interval of ports.
See Hostnames og porte https://cprservicedesk.atlassian.net/l/c/RSzJQpAF

Solution: On the FTP client-side it must be secured that the firewall is open (outbound) for the interval of ports.
