Can you use `openssl s_client` to validate the certificate chains in each scenario?

openssl s_client -connect example.com:21 -showcerts

The Filezilla configuration is FTP protocol, explicit FTP over TLS.

I'm still highly suspicious of the tethering (perhaps there's some
peculiar NAT in the phone), even if it does work on another PC.

At the moment I'm playing with just one PC.  Either plugging it's
ethernet into a router (which does work), or disconnecting and using
USB tethering (which only partially works).

I'll have a look at the other PC on another email.

Ooops, forgot that...  Bowdlerised connection addresses used below:

Firstly, a working example of normal ethernet connection on the same PC
to the remote FTP server:

Upon starting a connection, I'm immediately shown a pop-up window about
the SSL certificate, about it being unknown, to authorise it now (and
optionally forever).  Since I haven't clicked the remember for the
future option, I always get prompted.

===================================================================


Failed example of USB tethered connection.  And I get the same if I
allow ports 990 and 980 through the PC's firewall (which I suspect are
really ports that the server, the far end, needs to use).  Heck knows
anything about the network configuration (beyond basic IP addresses) of
the Android phone being used for the tethering.  Though I have to say
that can't think of anything else that's failed going through it

No window pops up asking me to check the certificate when I try to
connect, and this is all that Filezilla logs about it.

That's the end of it, it's most odd that the AUTH TLS command is
rejected.

The server only allows secure connections, so I can't avoid it.
