TLS problem

[Pocok]

I found some strange behaviour FileZilla exhibits while trying to use TLS. Basically as soon as I set TLS, no matter what I do FileZilla won't even try to send the password. It asks for it, but will never send it. If I just switch to normal FTP mode, the thing works. Back to explicit TLS, stops working. All the answer I get from the server is a 530, auth error, which is reasonable of course. CoreFTP lite works fine connecting the same server (ProFTPD 1.2.9) in TLS mode.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Here's the debug output:

I have the same problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Note: This seems to be related to some changes in the latest version of proftpd (1.2.9) bc everything worked here before I updated the server to 1.2.9.
But looking at the message exchange this seems to be a filezilla bug.

thanks!

Maybe helpful to some: it seems that this is not a FileZilla bug, but rather a debian patch that backports some 1.2.10 TLS code into proftpd 1.2.9. Downgrading or waiting for the new version should help.
