Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

Cant seem to get the directory to show up. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I tried active and passive modes. Any help would be appreciated.

Could you post a log from the first connection after having restarted FileZilla? There should be a FEAT command in there and the server reply to it.

I closed Filezilla, reopened, then attempted to reconnect. Here is the log from that connection.

Please right-click the message log and send the FEAT custom command. What does it output?

[msoporito]

Excuse my ignorance. Is this what you were looking for?

Command: FEAT
Response: 221-Features:
Response: MDTM
Response: MLST modify*;perm*;size*;type*;unique*;UNIX.group*;UNIX.mode*;UNIX.owner*
Response: 221 End

Thanks, yes.

According to the FEAT output, the server does support MLSD. As per RFC 3659, MLSD support is indicated by the MLST line in the FEAT reply.



It seems your server is lying in its FEAT output, it includes MLST but does not actually support MLSD. Furthermore, your server's FEAT reply is slightly malformed.

Please contact your server administrator or server hosting provider for assistance so that the server can be fixed.

EDIT TO ADD: disregard the following, resolved by setting protocol to SFTP. Leaving in case it may help others.

Hello,
