Can't connect to Server but can on Client

#1 Post by branone » 2023-06-06 04:42

Hello, I am completely new to FileZilla and am struggling to connect to the server. I created my own website using 'Free Webhosting Area', and after setting it up I am now trying to install an SSL Certificate. I have receieved the certificate and was told I could use FileZilla to install it. FileZilla Client allows me to connect to my website, but for some reason I am unable to connect using FileZilla Server.

I'm using the port 21 as that is the port that it says next to the IP address when I connect via the FileZilla Client. The errors it gives:

Code: Select all

<06-06-2023 14:43:18> Admin UI [Error] GnuTLS error -15: An unexpected TLS packet was received.
<06-06-2023 14:43:18> Admin UI/RMP Session, id: 0 [Error] Failed securing connection. Reason: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted.
<06-06-2023 14:43:18> Admin UI [Error] Session ended with error from source 0. Reason: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted.

You're doing it wrong. Neither FileZilla nor FileZilla Server can install a TSL certificate for your website, this is something done internally on the web server or your domain (web server = HTTP(S), different service altogether).

According to a quick check on their page, TLS/SSL support is not yet available. Once it is, you need to set it up using their control panel, not possible over FTP.

By the log you have posted, it appears that you are trying to connect the Administration Interface to the administrative part of the FileZilla Server using the port that is dedicated to FTP (21): that won't work.Unless you've changed it during installation, the port is 14148.

Also, there appears to be no FileZilla Server listening on port 21 either, there's instead another FTP server.

Thank you. I'll just use a different hosting service that supports TSL.
