PORT-FTP-OPEN

FTP is reachable

What it means

Plain FTP sends usernames and passwords unencrypted and is a frequent brute-force target.

How to fix it

  1. 1Use SFTP (over SSH) or FTPS instead.
  2. 2Close port 21 at the firewall if nobody needs it.

Re-check after the change

DNS changes can take up to the record's TTL to be seen; use Re-run on the result page to bypass our 10-minute cache.
