I can't connect to the server. What am I doing wrong?

#1 Post by DanielHemed1977 » 2023-03-21 18:06

Hi,

I installed the server and when running it this is the details:

Host: 127.0.0.1

Port: 14148

Password: I have a password

then connecting and a message: Successfully connected without any errors.

Now I'm running the client side.
On the top in the Host: 127.0.0.1 in the Username: empty in the Password: same password as in the server and Port: 14148 and clicking the Quickconnect button.

The messags:

Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:14148...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

Then:

Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Could not connect to server

In the server side:

<Date> Info [Type] Message
<21-03-2023 20:04:53> Administration Server [Error] Administration client with ID 8 disconnected with error ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted

What should I do ?

I need this to add local files I have on my pc to ftp and then to download back the files using direct links of the files from the ftp.

Screenshots:

Port 14148 is only for the Administration interface, you cannot connect with an FTP client to it. 127.0.0.1 is localhost, meaning "connect to myself". So, you need to use both a different IP or Hostname (like the server computer's name in LAN) and a port the server is listening on for client connections (this is usually 21 for both FTP and FTPS Explicit).

Oh, and another thing to mention is that the login data you entered for connecting the Admin interface to the server isn't for client connections, either. So, you need to define at least one FTP account and assign resources and privileges. Then, you should be able to connect fine.
