Re: Is this happening to you?

Ok, it wasn't the Xfinity Advanced Security product. Disabling it had no effect (ftp still failed).
I opened up Windows Defender Firewall and found that the apps allowed did not include file transfer.
I enabled it and ftp worked. (did expiration and removal of Norton Anti-virus disable them? I don't know)
But now Rob Berendt's question has me thinking... what difference does that make when I am connecting to a server through a vpn?
I'm speaking out of ignorance here, but wouldn't everything going out to the internet have to go through the vpn tunnel?

The only thing I can think of is that the Norton Anti-virus product on my PC (it came free with our internet provider), has been replaced with something that supposedly provides the same protection through my router.

This is complete bullshit. Unless you have a *very* elaborated router being able (and being allowed) to be a man in the middle for SSL connections, the same protection level can never be achieved.

Why would requests from my PC to the server be rejected or fail, but the same requests from another PC in another location work fine?

This is obviously not a thing related to IBM i.
