tsNet FTP help

[Charles Warwick]

Hi Scott,

This part of the server response is your clue:

> 421-Sorry, cleartext sessions and weak ciphers are not accepted on this server.
> 421 Please reconnect using TLS security mechanisms.

You need to connect to the FTP server using SSL.  The following LC lesson should help:

Regards,

Charles

Although the lesson  <https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/851756-how-to-upload-a-file-using-ftp>  seemed very straight forward, I am not making any headway.  I am using LC 9.6.2 (rc 2) Business, OSX 11.2.1 Big Sur (MBP 2017). I've included the pertinent portion of script and the server response below. Any suggestions welcome.
