Unable to FTP

[John H]

Following an installation of Photo Mechanic 6.0 by our tech department on my 64-bit MacBook Pro, I'm no longer able to ftp files to any sites. Manual uploads outside of PM work fine, and I've verified the correct upload information, for each of the sites, within the program several times. OS is Catalina, version 10.15.7. The Photo Mechanic software was a transfer of a licensed copy from another machine in-house, a PC, for-what-it's-worth. I've tried importing preferences and ftp settings of a colleague's working version of it as well to no avail. Log file is:

Do you have anything installed that blocks an application from making network connections?  For instance "Little Snitch" is commonly used by macOS users and it can block outgoing transmissions.
