      I have files I need to download from a company that only uses FTP for downloading files and PFsense will not let me download them anyone have a fix for this? Reading the help files and the googling I have done I have not yet figured it out

        Are you using browser or FTP client? FTP has 2 modes, active and passive. Active mode doesn't work well with firewalls, but passive does. Browsers use passive.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          The company I am dealing with has me giving me 2 different ways to do it thru internet explorer disabling passive mode and using file explorer both work on my computer when I hook up my 20 dollar Walmart router but will not work thru PFsense.
          Is there a FTP client you recommend?
