Error Message - how to fix

#1 Post by Dunkerly1 » 2022-01-07 17:10

Downloaded current version for Mac. Tried to upload file and:

Status: Connecting to 64.4.176.41:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response: 220 Microsoft FTP Service
Command: AUTH TLS
Response: 234 AUTH command ok. Expecting TLS Negotiation.
Status: Initializing TLS...
Error: GnuTLS error -8: A packet with illegal or unsupported version was received.
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted".
Error: Could not connect to server

I had no difficulty connecting to other site I use. How do I fix? Rollback to previous version that worked fine.

FileZilla requires the FTP server to support at least FTP over TLS 1.2.

Currently, there is still a setting (Connection - Minimum allowed TLS version) for connecting to servers supporting only the insecure FTPS 1.1 (or even 1.0). Try that setting, but remember, it won't be there, forever.
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!

Observe how TLS 1.2 came out in 2008. If the server hasn't been updated in all that time, one wonders what other security issues have not been fixed. Especially considering it runs on Windows.
