Error: Received TLS alert from the server: Handshake failed (40)

Hello,
I installed FileZilla on win 10 but now all the sites I get this error: Error: Received TLS alert from the server: Handshake failed (40)

With Windows 8.1 did not have this problem

Please post a complete Log of a connection attempt.

What does https://ftptest.net/ have to say about your server?

Something is wrong with the server. It accepts the AUTH TLS command yet cannot perform a TLS handshake. You need to contact your server administrator or server hosting provider to have the server fixed.

If you using vsftpd then add the line

ssl_ciphers=AES128-SHA

to your vsftpd.conf file.

This solved the problem for me.

Bad advise, it limits it to a single, rather insecure cipher.

Add ssl_ciphers=HIGH instead.
