However when finally getting to a stage where I was nearly content with the site, my Host IP Netvirtue decide to sell and be taken over by Ventraip and overnight they they have migrated my site to new servers which are rather ftp strict to the point my numerous uploads are near on impossible to maintain or even upload.
They state:
I have struggled to get bits of CumulusMX uploading again, only realtime but not 5 min updates which is strange. Can't even get my old text based bat files to upload local data or get ipTimelapse to upload either.The authentication issues you are getting (Sorry, cleartext sessions and weak ciphers are not accepted on this server) are due to TLS 1.2 enforcement on the server.
You will only be able to connect securely. Depending on which FTP client you are using follow the below guide to ensure you are connecting securely:
Connecting securely (TLS) to FileZilla

Connecting securely via FTP using Cyberduck
https://ventraip.com.au/faq/article/con ... cyberduck/
Connecting with CuteFTP using TLS 1.2
https://ventraip.com.au/faq/article/con ... g-tls-1-2/
If your application is TLS 1.2 compliant you may need to select the connection type as either "FTP-TLS", "FTPS", "FTPS with TLS/SSL (AUTH TLS – Explicit)" OR "Require explicit FTP over TLS".
So I am thinking it may be time to go down the road of which my back has and call it a day.
