Title: FTP Server Access
Post by: Mauri on January 28, 2021, 01:51:23 PM
Hi,
For a number of days the FTP Server no longer opens.
When I place the mouse over it, at the bottom it says the site is "ftp:\\ftp.machsupport.com", and when I click onto it, nothing pops up at the top of the webpage to launch it.
Is this server down?
I know that the server is not a secure server.
Regards,
Mauri.

Try a different browser - google sometimes won't let me on there.

Hi
I use Microsoft Edge and have has no issues before with this new version or the earlier version or any of Microsoft Explorer versions as I have been accessing it every day for many years.
Unless the software now has determined that the site is unsafe?
Regards,
Mauri.

Hi,
If I right click the FTP SERVER - MAIN MENUS tab and select "copy link" and then past it, I get the following ftp://anonymous:guest@ftp.machsupport.com/
Is this the reason why I cannot get in?
Regards,
Mauri.

Hi,
Microsoft Edge says the following see attached file "it regards the web site a not secure" that is why it does not allow access.

Mauri.

Looks like someone has decided to add additional 'Capture' security to the site without fully testing the consequence.  :(
Like Wallerwang has posted - a browser other than Edge may be the answer. I often use Opera and that works just fine opening the ftp site.

Tweakie, I can have the people that work on the server look at this but I guess I don't understand the issue :(
Can you help me understand what I need them to fix?

Hi Brian, all I can suggest is that the ‘reCaptcha’ protection is removed from the website until such time as Google find the problem.

Does the Machsupport.com web site utilize reCaptcha? I run into it in many places but have never had it show up when I access the main Machsupport.com web site, this forum, or the FTP site.

Looks like Edge deprecated support for FTP protocol in their latest release...could be the cause?

Well spotted Jbuehn, that certainly would cause the problem.

Just use HTTP>
