Upload to what server, where? Your own, on your own LAN? Or behind another firewall, like mine? Are you using NAT on both client and server, or do both have public IP addresses? FTP always has problems with firewalls and NAT routers, due to data connections being opened on random ports, with the IP address and port being listed on the control channel using the PORT and PASV commands. Firewalls and routers have to 'read' the control channel to either open the data port specified, or for NAT to 'modify' the command to change the IP address from internal or external, or vice versa. With SSL, the control channel is encrypted so the firewall can not read the PORT or PASV commands and so can not automatically open the ports and translate IP addresses. Some FTP clients like FileZilla, and some FTP servers try to get around this by using the external IPs instead of the internal ones, but ICS does not do this automatically. I will look at getting SSL working on ics.ftptest.org, but I need to change the FTP server to restrict the data ports used, and open those on the firewall, and I'm too busy until later next week. > Unfortunately, I couldn't upload to ics.ftptest.org, it says > Error 501 Permission denied.

They all need the same account, and some may not be running all the time, for instance Microsoft FTP Server has no hacking protection so people will attempt hundreds of thousands of passwords. My servers are targets for heavy hacking, hundreds of attempts to break by firewall last week.
