There is a difference between the naming of different vendors. If you have only one physical port connecting the switches you don't need to configure a trunk in FSW. The term "trunk" in FSW is for link aggregation.

Just set a native VLAN and the allowed VLAN that you need on the uplink port.

 

From Cisco side you have to configure the interface as trunk mode (switchport mode trunk) set the native VLAN and allow the VLANs that you need to pass.

 

Take a look at another related discussion: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/Support-Forum/Connected-148F-Switch-to-Cisco-2960X-Traffic-wont-pass/m-p/256744#M212485

Dont configure the port as a trunk. You simply just need to allow the VLANs you want to pass.

 

Ignore the concept of access and trunk ports - thats not applicable here. Trunk, as mentioned above, is set to do LAG.
