Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been trying to get this Liquid Web Cloudflare FTP thing set up for like, forever now. 😩 Anyone else been through this? I feel like I’m missing something obvious, but the config is just not clicking for me.
I’ve got my Liquid Web server and Cloudflare all set up, but when it comes to the FTP part, it’s like hitting a brick wall. Do I need to tweak the DNS settings? Or is there some secret sauce in the Cloudflare dashboard I’m not seeing?
If anyone’s got this working, pls share your wisdom. I’m this close to just giving up and using something else, but I really wanna make Liquid Web Cloudflare FTP work.
Thanks in advance, y’all! 🙏
Hey! I feel your pain with the Liquid Web Cloudflare FTP setup. It can be a headache, but I got it working by tweaking the DNS settings in Cloudflare. Make sure your FTP server's IP is set to "DNS only" (not proxied) in the Cloudflare dashboard. Also, double-check your FTP client settings—sometimes it’s the port or passive mode that trips things up.
If you’re still stuck, this guide helped me a ton: [link to a relevant guide]. Good luck, and don’t give up!
Ugh, I went through the same thing last week! The trick for me was disabling Cloudflare’s proxy for the FTP subdomain. Just go to your DNS settings in Cloudflare, find the FTP record, and toggle the orange cloud to gray (DNS only).
Also, make sure your FTP client is set to use port 21 and passive mode. If you’re using FileZilla, there’s a setting under “Transfer Settings” for that. Hope this helps!
Hey there! I’ve been using Liquid Web Cloudflare FTP for a while now, and yeah, the setup can be tricky. One thing that helped me was using an SFTP client instead of regular FTP. Cloudflare doesn’t interfere with SFTP as much, and it’s more secure.
If you’re open to switching, try WinSCP or Cyberduck. They’re super user-friendly and might save you some headaches. Also, make sure your DNS settings in Cloudflare are set to “DNS only” for the FTP subdomain.
Oh man, I feel you. Liquid Web Cloudflare FTP setup is no joke. I spent hours on it before realizing I had to whitelist my IP in Liquid Web’s firewall settings. Cloudflare was blocking the connection because of their security features.
Also, check if your FTP client is set to passive mode. If not, it won’t connect properly. If you’re still stuck, maybe try reaching out to Liquid Web support—they’re pretty helpful with this stuff.
Hey! I had the same issue with Liquid Web Cloudflare FTP. The key for me was making sure the FTP subdomain wasn’t proxied through Cloudflare. Go to your DNS settings, find the FTP record, and switch the proxy off (gray cloud).
Also, if you’re using a firewall on your Liquid Web server, make sure port 21 is open. Sometimes it’s the little things that trip you up. Good luck, and don’t give up—it’s worth it once it’s working!
Wow, thanks so much, everyone! I didn’t expect so many helpful replies. I tried disabling the Cloudflare proxy for the FTP subdomain, and it worked! I also switched to passive mode in FileZilla, and now everything’s running smoothly.
Quick question though—should I be worried about security since the FTP subdomain isn’t proxied? Or is it fine as long as I’m using SFTP? Thanks again, y’all are lifesavers! 🙌
Dude, I feel your frustration. Liquid Web Cloudflare FTP setup is a nightmare if you don’t know the quirks. For me, the fix was disabling Cloudflare’s proxy for the FTP subdomain and ensuring my FTP client was set to passive mode.
If you’re still stuck, maybe try using an SFTP client like FileZilla. It’s more reliable with Cloudflare, and you won’t have to deal with as many connection issues. Hang in there—you’ll get it!
