Today I updated to Classic 9.6 and am not able to use the FTP functionality, it gives a weird error message that I have not see before since I started using Rapidweaver since almost 9 years ago. Please see the screenshot. I have tried different connections and all give the same error, I finally had to use FileZilla that did work and without ANY error during the transfer! I look forward to advice! ![Scherm­afbeelding 2025-07-17 om 17.05.41](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/6/1697aa6acc5ec1360249795473b3bd41647fd0a7.jpeg) ---

thanks for this, I have tried but not working, the only thing that currently works is FTP in combination with extended passive, active doesn’t work in both modes. I seen the issue is more discussed around Elements and not 9.6 Classic, are there any further settings I could think of? I do prefer to use publishing in FTPS mode. ---

Sorry to be a pain, but those last logs weren’t too helpful. Can you re-publish (when you get the error) and send the new logs over to [forumsupport@realmacsoftware.com](mailto:forumsupport@realmacsoftware.com) Thanks! ---
