This Error Event is part of Connect to FTP Events.
Event ID · 321400
Overview
The error message indicates that connection to the FTP server is not established. Any further operations with remote server will fail until reconnection attempt is made.
Solution
The error may be caused by connectivity issues such as firewall or antimalware whitelisting. Make sure that local machine can connect to the remote server—no firewall is blocking outgoing connections on the client, and incoming connection at the server.
Double check that your provided username & password, fingerprint, certificate and passphrase is valid and are in supported format. To pinpoint the problem, enable connection debugging option.
If the error is due to an unsupported TLS version, ensure that you are not restricting the latest TLS version in the connection's custom options. Also, verify that your server software is updated to support the latest TLS standards.
