Hi.
Been happily sending a daily FTP zip of my website's database (100Mb) to my local (home) server since 2012, via BT and then Virgin Media.
Since I switched to EE full fibre 500 in late July, no data has been reaching my local FTP server, though my local logs show the following, at each attempt:

So, the port (21) forwarding is ok, password is validated ok, passive mode is selected ok, type set to binary ok and the control & data channels are being opened, but no data is being allowed through the router, and the push mechanism (a small php script, using ftp_put) reports an error.
My local server is running Windows 2008 R2 and this setup has been great for 12-13 years but no longer works for me, since connection of the Smart Hub Plus.
I've read plenty of posts in this community but nothing seems quite relevant. I'm half hoping there's an issue with this router's hardware as the ethernet ports won't keep a connection to my TV, but that's the subject of another topic.
Grateful for any insights, or idea I've not yet thought of.
