    I have followed Perfect Server instructions and https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-secure-your-ispconfig-3-server-against-the-poodle-ssl-attack.
    Now it seems like FTP with TLS does not work. I can connect with command line ftp client. Using Filezilla, if I choose in "Site Manager" Encryption is "Use plain FTP" then it works. I can login and read and write files.
    But if I choose for Encryption "Require explicit FTP over TLS" I can still log in, but about 20 seconds later the session times out. See below Filezilla session.
    I have tried to find error messages from logs, no luck. I do not understand what is wrong. If this is something to do with FTP passive mode, why would it work differently when TLS is used?

    Thats a firewall problem. Configure a pssive port range in pure-ftpd and then open that passive port range in your firewall.
