FTP external storage is not working

[JakeSully]

Hi

New problem, is anyone here able to use FTP as external storage? since when i try to do it all i get is something went wrong and then a incident id.

tried to use XR Debug but running following command:
vendor/bin/xr only gave this error

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting '|' or variable (T_VARIABLE) in /home/user/public_html/app/vendor/chevere/xr-server/xr on line 142

so i cannot use XR debuger to solve my FTP external storage since other debug method does not expose actuall error on this one. (Due to a pop-up error alert box appears)

I hope anyone here can help with this one at least.

Update: I can confirm that server 1 can connect to external storage just fine through FTP manual command by doing ftp domain.com through main server in SSH

So that is not the problem with connection.

Update #2: It seems XR Debuger was not working because for some reason it thought i was using php 7.4.xx so i had to set 8.0 as main and now XR Debuger works. So you can ignore that part.

Update #3: Here is a php error code that ftp.php file is causing when it tries to upload a file to new server.

Error:
Error uploading Chevereto_test_2023-01-22_06h23m07s.png >>> ftp_put(): php_connect_nonb() failed: Operation now in progress (115)

After googling this " ftp_put(): php_connect_nonb() failed: Operation now in progress (115) " i get result of it is due to TLS/SSL encryption end on ftp server causing the error since ftp_put fails to upload through encrypted connection. So then lots of people mentioned this code "ftp_set_option($conn, FTP_USEPASVADDRESS, false); " add it before following code " ftp_pasv($this->ftp, $args['passive']); " which i did but then error remains but instead i get "Can't enable passive mode in server domain.com" like come on!!!!

So i need a solution to get site to upload through TLS/SSL connection with encryption so it won't fail.

I can't get an FTP connection over SSL/TLS either... At least not if the FTP server only allows secure FTP connections. (FTPS).
The problem is that in the script the connection is not explicitly specified as you can do it for example WinSCP. Therefore the connection fails.

The only possibility I have seen to make the FTP server accessible for unsecured connections.

External Storage SFTP with SSH Keys and / or FTP with TLS/SSL explizit encryption

💡Describe your Feature request Currently there is the possibility to create external storages which can be accessed with FTP and SFTP. However, there are server configurations that do not accept the input of a mere password because they have been explicitly switched to SSH keys or only allow...

Back in v3, I customized the file that connects to the FTP server so that it worked. But in version 4 is currently changed so much that with each new update my adjustments would disappear.

well i googled around with error but one was to use CURL or the code i found. But every time i added that code it gave a new error.

If i changed Passive mode to False in coding and saved then script could create atleast a 0 byte .png/.jpg test image at server. But it couldn't fully upload whole image :/
