One thing you have to take into consideration is the FTP is blocked maybe due to anonymous connections. You might be able to get a VPN and use FTP or SFTP or SCP to move files to/from the server. I would recommend using SFTP or SCP. SFTP uses port 22 same as SSH for authentication. FTP uses TCP port 21 and has no security authentication. I would suggest a more secure transfer method to start with. There are too many bad actors out there. If you have the traffic in a VPN tunnel that is one thing but exposed is another. If the information is not that critical maybe but a good VPN is worth it if you have time and money invested and can't afford to be breached. There are a number of VPN options out there. I was looking into expressVPN and it seems to be pretty good but I have not decided. It is just a matter of time.
