Insecure connection to https://www.ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php
Posted: 2018-08-28 07:13
I am trying to configure my filezilla for an "Explicit FTP over TLS", it hangs after giving the command "AUTH TLS".
I tried using the Network Configuration Wizard, which also hangs.
On checking for the external IP with the link http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php, I get the message (using Firefox):
The owner of www.ip.filezilla-project.org has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.
If I try the same link using lynx, I get the localhost address of 127.0.0.1
I have been using Filezilla for years on the particular web site for years, and only in the last month have things gone wrong. My normal host is a Linux box; in desperation I tried installing Filezilla on my Windows 10 laptop, still cannot access the site I have been uploading to for years.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
