<p dir="auto">Hi CW,</p>
<p dir="auto">It sounds like you're attempting to connect to a server via FTP, and the server is rejecting your connection because it is configured to only allow FTPS (FTP over TLS) connections. Note that neither of those are the same as SFTP, which is typically when you use an SSH connection to manage remote files.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you want to use FTPS, then you probably need to explicitly tell your file transfer client to do that. Not knowing exactly which client you're using, I can't say exactly what steps to take. Maybe it's a checkbox for using encryption, or one for using a secure connection, or maybe you have to select <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">ftps</code> as the protocol or something like that.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you want to use SFTP, then you should make sure that your server supports that, and that you have specified SFTP as the connection method. Like I said earlier, SFTP normally works over SSH and so your client would be attempting to connect on port 21.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Greeting Hidden Tech,
<div>Happy Holidays to all of you. I am in VS Code trying to use an SFTP plugin and Namecheap Servers to edit my WordPress sites. The sites are ok, I am just trying to advance my PhP skills for employment. <br></div>

<div>"Sorry, cleartext sessions and weak ciphers are not accepted on this server.<br>
Please reconnect using TLS security mechanisms."<br></div>

<div>I have neve had this error before. What are the TLS requirements? Do I need to clear port caches? Is that a thing? Thank you all in advance.</div>
