Stuck on "Connected, waiting for authentication"

#1 Post by oset » 2017-07-28 07:43

FileZilla server 0.9.60 installed in Windows 7 Sp1, and working fine until now.

Suddenly, the Admin Interface can’t logon to the server any more. I thought, I might have forgotten the password, and made a clean install using default settings, with no help.

I’m now also getting the error 7030 in Windows System Log stating “The FileZilla Server FTP server service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. This service may not function properly.” Changing the service logon settings (no interact with desktop or logon using a user admin account) removes the log event, but won’t fix the logon issue.

Can anyone help.

Could a firewall be blocking the connection?

It shouldn't. Using RDP Session to start FileZilla Server Interface in the same computer with the FileZilla service. And yet, no competent drops in the fw log.

Admin port 14147 is open and listened by FileZilla Server. Telnetting to the port gives the response "FZS".

The server definitely is running and working according to telnet.

Are you running the administration interface on the same computer as the FileZilla Server service?

Yes, the same server using Remote Desktop. Tested also at the local desktop with same results.

What are you using as Logon address? With default settings, only localhost, 127.0.0.1 and ::1 can be used. Every other address is considered remote administration, which is disabled by default.

I've tested all of them. Here's netstat when trying to connect using ::1

TCP 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
[FileZilla Server.exe]
TCP 127.0.0.1:14147 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
[FileZilla Server.exe]
TCP [::]:21 [::]:0 LISTENING
[FileZilla Server.exe]

TCP [::1]:8145 [::1]:14147 ESTABLISHED
[FileZilla Server Interface.exe]
TCP [::1]:14147 [::]:0 LISTENING
[FileZilla Server.exe]
TCP [::1]:14147 [::1]:8145 ESTABLISHED
[FileZilla Server.exe]

Interesting. It shows the problem is not with connecting, interconnection is successfully ESTABLISHED.


You explicitly removed the settings file when clean re-installing? By default, connecting with the Admin interface to the server service requires no password at all, it is left blank. So, that doesn't work at all?
If not, does it give a specific error in red when the connect fails?

This seems not to be a FileZilla problem only. I can't get any proper communication in any local port using localhost, 127.0.0.1 or ::1. Website in the same server (IIS) responds properly when referring to its public address but not when using https://localhost or server local IP address. Just telnet localhost:14147 responds FZS, very slowly though.

Some kind of Windows fix will be needed now.

Netsh reset for ipv4 and ipv6 interfaces and winsock didn't help. Something more fundamental obviously needed. A hard work to start all from scratch.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? That is rebooting.

As the last effort before format-C and Win7 clean install, I upgraded to Win10. Whatever the reason for the odd behavior was, Win 10 upgrade fixed it. So be it. Now, just to get rid of Win 10 reporting and to tweak the update policy.

Thank you for your support in this kind of a non-FileZilla issue.

Good afternoon, I have been Running Filezilla Server for about 3 weeks with no issues.
Now after being on for about 4 hours i get the same Error "Connected, Waiting for Authentication"
If I reboot my server everything is good.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on why this would be timing out on me.
