How to enable FTP in paid account

Website link: https://ibkr.info/article/2024.

I want to download data from IBKR, but they require me to set up a FTP. How do I do it in pythonanywhere?

I tried typing this in console: sftp shortstock@ftp3.interactivebrokers.com

error shown:

ssh: connect to host ftp3.interactivebrokers.com port 22: No route to host Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

That sounds like the FTP server you're trying to connect to is blocking connections from PythonAnywhere. Your best bet would be to get in touch with their tech support team.
