No access with FileZilla but ftp works

#1 Post by ESgt » 2020-06-12 23:23

I have two web-sites, one of which I control with ftp from cmd prompt; like this:
C:\Users\HP>ftp
ftp> open www.derbyarc.org
Connected to rs1.vidavia.net.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
200 OPTS UTF8 command successful - UTF8 encoding now ON.
User (rs1.vidavia.net:(none)): derbyarc
331 Password required
Password:
230 User logged in.
ftp> cd www.derbyarc.org
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> prompt
Interactive mode Off .
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection.
03-21-20 11:47PM 10375 about.html ---------------- and so on.

But with FileZilla the result is always like this:
Status: Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".

Could you please help me how to apply FileZilla in this case.

Looks like FileZilla cannot resolve the server name to an IP, maybe a firewall restricts its ability to DNS-resolve?

As a workaround, try to use the IP address of the server directly (which is 94.236.73.13).

Thank you for the suggestion using the IP directly. It produces this set of statements. Is there further indication amongst them please?

The server sits behind a NAT router, however neither the server nor the NAT router have been configured accordingly.
