Here is the connection log:

  • Status: Resolving address of ftp.mydomain.com
  • Status: Connecting to 172.67.128.141:21...
  • Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
  • Error: Could not connect to server
  • Status: Waiting to retry... The log is looping like this. retrying again and again.

I have tried some settings on the FileZilla site manager settings.
From this thread. Filezilla timeout after 20 seconds of inactivity
But could not connect to the server.
I have checked the A record for ftp.mydomain.com on Cloudflare it properly points to the server IP.

Since the server is a Cpanel WHM, I also created a support ticket.
They told me to try the FileZilla Site Manager with the Encryption option as Only use Plain FTP(insecure) Did not work.

What can be wrong with my Cloudflare DNS settings?
Because when I use server IP as FTP Hostname I finally could connect to the server with FTP.

Since we can use the server IP address as FTP hostname I simply changed the Proxy status of the A record from proxied to DNS Only. Now I can connect to FTP without any errors with the default FTP hostname which is ftp.mydomain.com Image of Proxy Status of the A record on Cloudflare DNS

It works if you connect to a VPN then try it. I connected to a VPN server in Netherlands, and then the connection worked.
