Using Apple hotspot to do the port scan, found 21 port is always open, would like to know is there anything special setting in Apple Hotspot service?

To whom it may concern,


I used a famous website "www.redhat.com" to test the nmap scan by using a laptop which is connected to apple's hotstpot, and find the port 21 is open, but using other network, the port 21 is not opened, may I know if there is any special setting in Apple hotspot makes this weird behavior?



----My scan result here--

Nmap scan report for www.redhat.com (23.7.212.225)

Host is up (0.020s latency).
