Hello,

I have a secured FTP with an SSL certificate. It works perfectly when I connect with FileZilla. However, when I try to connect with the web browser, after entering the credentials I get this: 550 SSL/TLS required on the control channel

I tried to put my .crt file in the browser and install the certificate on my PC but it doesn't change anything.

And also, I have to access it by typing ftp://ip and not ftps://ip, in FTPS it cannot find the server. While the certificate works since I tested with Wireshark and it is encrypted.

If someone can explain how to access FTP via a web browser, that would be great.

Thanks in advance
Have a nice day

    Hello,

    Apparently ftps is just not natively supported by most browsers (at least IE). Try to see if there is an extension in your browser that would allow it. Perhaps the SFTP client extension for Chrome/Chromium?

    Otherwise, you may need to use a dedicated client, or use an alternative to ftp.

    Good luck
