Hello.
These are the commands that run when I attempt to connect to the server:
Code: Select all
Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status: Plain FTP is insecure. Please switch to FTP over TLS.
Status: Logged in
Status: Retrieving directory listing...
Command: PWD
Response: 257 "/" is current directory.
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 Type set to I
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,197,132)
Command: MLSD
Response: 501 Couldn't open the directory
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
Any ideas what could be the solution?

Which OS?
If Windows: The account the server runs under (SYSTEM by default) does not have access to the resource you have configured as / in FileZilla Server. First, check the NTFS permissions, the server user account must have full access. Second, check if the Windows "Controlled Folder Access" feature is active and blocking access.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm runnig the server on a Windows 10 pro.
You refer to NTFS permissions of the FileZilla executable file?
I checked the "Controlled Folder Access" and is off, so that's not the issue.

The NTFS permissions of the directory you are attempting to list through FileZilla Server.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the FileZilla server again, and now the server is not working.
The following is printed when I try to run the server:
Code: Select all

Did you, by any chance, before reinstalling, configure FileZilla Server so that it would listen for FTP connection on port 14148? If so, that is what is causing your issue: the Administration part of FileZilla Server is not able to start accepting connections.
We will make this impossible to happen in the next releases, for now you ought to modify the configuration file by hand.
As administrator, you should edit the file settings.xml within the folder C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\filezilla-server. In that file, locate the <ftp_server> node, then within that note locate the <listener> node that contains the <port>14148</port> entry. Delete that <listener> node, save the file and restart the service. You should then be able to connect again with the administration interface.

There is an easier workaround: Reinstall and during installation pick a different admin port.
