FTP to external server outside our LAN
Yes the app retrieved data using iPhone hotspot on the same PC
Used Filezilla and couldn't retrieve data with router/modem, but did work when using iPhone hotspot
Thanks for your reply. We will keep troubleshooting. Very strange. Nobody else(outside our WiFi network) using the app is experiencing this.

Again, "couldn't" is not a useful problem description. It does not
say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As
usual, showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages,
LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.
Are you using passive-mode FTP? Filezilla does/can log all session
activity, right? What actually happens in one of these failures?

Does a wired connection work any differently? Is there any
port forwarding configured on the C7000 (which might affect ports
20-21)? (A settings reset should clear out anything like that.)
