I am using freefilesync for a few years now and I never had a lot of problems. For a while now I have problems logging in, first a few maps but now I can not log in. The program is not recognising the server. No adjustments have been made to the server. The message I get is: Can not read "ftp://xxxxxx@xx.xxx.xx.xxx". CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT: Connection time-out 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,x,xxx,xxx,xx). [curl_easy_perform].
When using an other ftp-program with the same facts I can log in with no problems.
Is the a sollution for this problem?

192.168.x.x is a "private" IP address.
Now not sure if that is expected (in context of "Passive Mode")?

Though if you're wanting to go through the "internet", it would need a "public" IP address.
