Can't connect to FTP server when I'm connected via hotspot

I need to connect to my webserver via FTP from my MacOS (13.4.1). When I'm connected via home internet provider, everything is OK. But when I connect via hotspot from my iPhone (iOS 17), I can't connect to FTP. The error message is "Connection timeout". The Internet in web browser is working perfectly, but FTP connection doesn't work. I tried several FTP clients (Filezilla, Forklift, ...), but still the same problem.

A few weeks ago, I used this FTP clients without any problem with hotspot, so maybe it could be related with iOS 17 update.

Has anyone same problem? Is there any possibility to analyze network settings to find out where could be the problem? I tried to switch off the Firewall on MacOS, but no change...

Thanks.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

I am having the exact same problem, on 2 different computers using 2 different operating systems. Nothing has changed on either system, the only thing that has changes is I updated my phone to iOS 17 (now 17.0.1). I am a photojournalist, and often need to upload photos to different news organizations servers. Before the update, everything was fine. Now, I can't access any of my business client's servers even though my computers are on the internet. This is NOT small problem. I need to get these images into their servers as quickly as possible, and not getting them in is a major problem. Last night I covered a HS football game, and could not log into their server and had to email the photos which slows down their process and looks bad on me. Like I said, nothing has changed except for the iOS. The computer sees the server, and attempts to login, but times out. This NEEDS to be fixed!
