Trying to use FTP service but not explicit FTP over TLS pops up

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Trying to set up a FTP not SFTP and i get "Use FTP over TLS (implicit)" but i need explicit to make the connection.
Also when running the command, i get

2020/09/15 22:18:40 ERROR : ftp://lw983.usbx.me:21: Error while Logging in into lw983.usbx.me:21: Non-anonymous sessions must use encryption.
2020/09/15 22:18:40 Failed to create file system for "ftp:/": NewFs: ftpConnection Login: Non-anonymous sessions must use encryption.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.52.3

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

  • os/arch: linux/arm

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone lsd ftp:/

In the config, you need to set this to true:

Use FTP over TLS (Explicit)
Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").
