Unable to List Remote Directoy

Hi all
Using WinSCP in a work environment and our FTP supplier switched servers the other day. Ever since then it's playing up.

Works fine on personal laptop but in the work enviro we can't read the directory listing. We used to connect with no encryption – now we have to have explicit TLS enabled but then it can't read any directory then.
I suspect firewall issue somewhere though but not sure.

But can you see anything obvious in the logs below and also thanks for any pointers

Re: Unable to List Remote Directoy

It's indeed possible that your firewall/NAT is blocking/not translating the data connection ports (60119 in this case, but there's for sure a range of ports in use, not just this one).

Without encryption, the ports might have been automatically opened/translated as needed.

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ftp_modes#smart
