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.
No access with FileZilla but ftp works

Re: No access with FileZilla but ftp works
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).

Re: No access with FileZilla but ftp works
Thank you for the suggestion using the IP directly. It produces this set of statements. Is there further indication amongst them please?

Re: No access with FileZilla but ftp works
The server sits behind a NAT router, however neither the server nor the NAT router have been configured accordingly.
