Sublime FTPS Can't Validate Folder - amazon-ec2

Question

Issue: When trying to connect to my server through Sublime SFTP Plugin using the supported FTPS method, everything seems to go smoothly except for the validation of the folder.
I have searched all over for a recourse to resolve this issue to no avail.
The strange part is when I look at my FileZilla Server Logs it seems to connect to the server just fine but the connection ends when it goes into PASV mode.
Below are the logs from the server:

Additional Information
I can connect to the server fine using FileZilla Client from another desktop.
The server is on a Windows 10 AWS and has an elastic IP address.
I have opened port 21 for both the inbound and outbound rules on the firewall as well as added the program FileZilla Server as an exception in the inbound rules.
I went onto the AWS Admin Panel and added all of the ports (21, 990, and 14200 - 14400) to my inbound rules. 14200 - 14400 are the passive mode port ranges I specified on the FileZilla Server Admin Panel.
Could someone please point me in the right direction or let me know what I am doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

SFTP vs. FTPS
In regards to how easy each of the secure FTP protocols are to
implement, SFTP is the clear winner since it is very firewall
friendly. SFTP only needs a single port number (default of 22) to be
opened through the firewall. This port will be used for all SFTP
communications, including the initial authentication, any commands
issued, as well as any data transferred.
On the other hand, FTPS can be very difficult to patch through a
tightly secured firewall since FTPS uses multiple port numbers. The
initial port number (default of 21) is used for authentication and
passing any commands. However, every time a file transfer request
(get, put) or directory listing request is made, another port number
needs to be opened. You and your trading partners will therefore have
to open a range of ports in your firewalls to allow for FTPS
connections, which can be a security risk for your network.
If you are using FTPS, you will face this issue based on the comments above.

The most secure option is to use SFTP instead of FTPS.
