Explicit FTP connection over TLS

Hello,

 

I am trying to connect to an Explicit FTP over TLS using a power automate flow. The connection to server is happening but the login is failing. Credentials are correct as the same works with FileZilla and WinSCP.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Regards,

Krishan

    It is years later and the FTP Action in Power Automate has a complete makeover where even more options are removed and while all documentation still reflects the old version, still the same problem.

    FileZilla can connect, while Power Automate refuses.

    If I leave the port in FileZilla blank, the log shows me it connects over port 21 instead of 990 for FTPS.

    Copilot kind of told me the same, That FTPS-Explicit, by the standards, uses port 21, while FTPS-implicit uses port 990.

    But still, connection fails. 

    Also missing the options for passive/active mode and timeout in the latest FTP Action now😥
