FileZilla Forums

Just recently I started getting this error when trying to connect to my host via FTP using FileZilla (latest version)

Is the problem FileZilla or my host?

FYI: I can connect with Window Explorer FTP

Got logs?

Is this what you mean?

Status: Resolving address of ftp.fish4him.net

That's with logs in debug mode.

I have checked with my host and they don't have trouble using WS_FTP Lite. They even setup a test account and it didn't work either. I tested with Windows command-line FTP and it works also. Seems like a FileZilla issue.

A firewall blocks you.

How true. I use Windows OneCare. When I looked at it's application exceptions I saw all the pervious versions of FileZilla listed as open, but the current version was not listed. I had to one by one remove the old versions from OneCare (hitting apply after each one) until they were all gone. Then I had to manually add FileZilla client again as OneCare did not pick-up on the fact the FileZilla was trying to access the Internet and ask me what I wanted to do. Thanks for the pointer in the right direction.
