Common FTP, FTPS & SFTP Error Codes and What They Mean
When working with file transfer protocols like FTP, FTPS, and SFTP, servers send and receive various return codes during sessions. Some codes indicate successful file transfers, while others signal errors and require further action. And when things go wrong, understanding the meaning behind the sever return codes can save you and your team time, money and frustration.
You may have noticed that this is our second blog post on the different configurable modes of FTP, in recent days - after our previous blog on the differences between active and passive FTP.

One such question which keeps coming up is the difference between implicit and explicit FTP - otherwise known as FTPS.
