Problems executing FZSFTP from FileZilla on Citrix RD
I have FileZilla installed on several Citrix servers in a farm. The program is ran from a Remote Desktop. FileZilla itself is not published. I have one user who regularly connects to the Remote Desktop via a satellite internet connection. When this user attempts to connect to an SFTP server, the following error is given:
Status: Connecting to xxxxxx.domain.ext...
Error: Connection timed out
Error: fzsftp could not be started
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
No other user, connecting in any other method, has reported this issue. This same user can connect if the user uses an internet connection other than satellite (DSL, Cable, etc.), which makes absolutely no sense to me, since the SFTP connection is between the Citrix server and the SFTP server, not the user's computer.
I thought maybe increasing the timeout to start the FZSFTP executable might fix it, but don't see any way to do this. The user can execute the FZSFTP program independantly and it runs. I upgraded to the latest release (3.2.1) today, and the issue persists.
Any ideas?

It should come up instantly.I thought maybe increasing the timeout to start the FZSFTP executable might fix it, but don't see any way to do this.
Does fzsftp.exe appear in the task manager when that user tries to establish a connection?

The only difference with satellite connections I know is they have a much higher latency.
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!
FTP connection problems? Please read Network Configuration.

Sorry, was waiting to get an email notice that replies were on here.... guess this site doesn't do that.
I'll check the task manager today if the user is available. I'll also post the debug level 4 log since upgrading to the new version (supposed to have more detail on fzsftp errors?).
Thanks for the replies!

I tried to connect while watching Task Manager, and fzsftp.exe pops up in the process list as soon as I click connect, but the connection still fails. Here is the level 4 debug of the session:

Login to the server. Browse to the installation location for FileZilla and locate fzsftp.exe. Right-click it and open properties. Do you see an Unblock button like this?
Re: Problems executing FZSFTP from FileZilla on Citrix RD
No Unblock button....

Downloaded and installed WinSCP and it works like a charm. SFTP connections with this software work with no issue.
