#1 Post by AB3217 » 2017-11-15 10:43

Hi ,

I am new to FileZilla ,What I am trying is to connect 2 windows 7 PC in same LAN network .
In one machine I have Installed Filezilla Server and in other I have Installed the Client ,when I am trying to Connect the Client with server by Using FTP (Port 21) I am able to connect and transfer the file.
But when I am trying to connect with SFTP (Port 22) I am unable to connect and getting the below error.

SSH-2.0-FileZilla_3.29.0
(000042)15-11-2017 15:35:08 - (not logged in) (10.63.145.136)> 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.

Please let me know how can I connect with SFTP ,Do I need to do any specific configuration for SFTP?

(Also pls let me know am I going the right way by trying to connect filezilla client with Filezilla server via SFTP ......if not how can we setup a SFTP connection with filezilla server.)

FileZilla Server does not support SFTP, you can stop trying to get connected to port 22.

FileZilla Server supports FTP and Explicit FTPS (AUTH TLS) on the normal listening port (21 by default). It also supports Implicit FTPS on a dedicated port (990 by default). For SFTP, you'd need a different server altogether.

Thanks for your prompt reply...Can you please suggest some of the free SFTP Servers from which filezilla clients can be connected to provide sftp transfer.

Thanks a lot in advance.

OpenSSH. There are also commercial servers with free basic features, but we aren't allowed to talk about the in the public, here.
