Cannot initiate SSL/TLS Explicit connection from a Windows 2022 Server host.
Really weird problem here.
On a Windows Server 2022 WinSCP cannot establish a Explicit TLS/SSL connection to a specific FTP server. It just immediately gives up. You probably will be thinking the settings are wrong or something is up with the FTP server.
but.. If I copy the WinSCP executable with the settings file to a Windows 11 workstation. Thus running the SAME WinSCP version with the SAME settings. It connects.
So. It will not connect on Windows 2022, but it does on Windows 11. Why?
Logs are as follows (the interesting part) (On Server 2022)
On Windows 11
Does someone know what causes this? Does WinSCP use SChannel? Maybe something registry setting that needs to be set? TLS 1.2 and 1.3 is enabled on that server (client-side)
I think I might be missing something stupidly simple. But I can't for life figure out what that might be.
