    Are you trying to connect via your server hostname FQDN or its IP or other domain on that server? The LE certs are meant for the former, not the IP or other domain on that server.

    Ensure your server open the ftp passive ports as well on the server and nat router, if yours are behind it.

    Please go through the read before posting if there is anything that can help you in there, if not, please provide your server reports on your next reply as well.

    I'm trying to connect on hostname FQDN, no ip or hosted domains.
    I didn't find any information about passive port, only information is relative to port 21

    The ISPConfig FAQ is mentioned in its documentation page: https://www.ispconfig.org/documentation/

    A link from there will take you to it and then a click to ISPConfig3, will get you there. You can also use the search box and type "ftpd" and that will get you there as well.

    I've added it to the FAQ category as well now. This FAQ is also mentioned in most threads that deal with FTP connection problems in this forum and setting the port range is not required anymore in any recent installation since the auto-installer sets it by default, and its also not needed in most regular server or vps installations that have a direct internet connection where no router or external firewall blocks access.
