FileZilla Forums

Used FileZillow for years for multiple clients without any issues. Latest version no longer functions. Luckily uploaded daily files before installing latest version. Now cannot connect to any client and get errors trying trying to trace problems.

Could some firewall on your machine be blocking FileZilla?

No on firewall. First check. Did system restore and got same issue.
"Could not find the resource files for FileZilla, closing FileZilla.
You can specify the data directory of Filezilla by setting the FZ_DATADIR enviornment variable." Couldn't find a way to access that directive. Gave up and deleted entire FileZilla from system. Going to try other methods. Filezilla has always been best FTD method for me so will keep at it until solved. Thank you for quick response.
For general info: Everytime I hit FZ icon I get "
! SFTP: Fixed PuTTY ECDSA NIST P-521 private key recovery vulnerability (CVE-2024-31497). If you use NIST P-521 keys to connect to SSH/SFTP servers, you should regenerate them and revoke the previous ones.
! Official binaries are now built against GnuTLS 3.8.4
- Updated to libfilezilla 0.47.0"
All Greek to me. Thanks again.
