Re: Intermediate connection to vendor FTP server

Do other FTP clients work consistently?

Intermediate connection to vendor FTP server

Hello
We are using WinSCP to connect to an external vendor site. Out of 5 times, it will connect once. It is in-consistent. The platform is AWS / EC2 and the outbound traffic is behind 3 NAT Gateways and Internet Gateway.
The connection always works from on prem or personal laptops.
Are the multiple NAT gateways in AWS causing this connection to work sometimes. Protocol is FTPs and in Passive mode.
