        2.3.2 has not stopped ftp access.  The ftp proxy/helper was removed back in 2.2

          How can we allow ftp protocol for my users.

          Or do us all (ISP, hosters, your clients) a favor and switch to SFTP for file transfer. And no, I'm not talking about FTP/S (FTP with TLS/SSL encryption), but SFTP (subset of SSH service). It is SO much less hassle. FTP as a protocol is just a giant PITA.

          If you have to, check you don't have a far too big passive ftp port range so you don't have to open up some thousands and thousands of ports.

          Don't forget to upvote 👍 those who kindly offered their time and brainpower to help you!

          If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.
