FileZilla: Unsafe server, it does not support FTP over TLS - all information

• This message says that the server is not secured by TLS. However, the TLS backup method is now obsolete and outdated by other techniques.
• So if you want to connect to a server that does not use this security standard, you must also enter it correctly under "Protocol".
• Try to use the "FTP" protocol instead of "FTPS" and try again.
• Contact your provider for more information about what information you need to provide in FileZilla for your server.
