FileZilla Forums

Hi all - new to this forum, so excuse anything I say that is incorrect.

I'm trying to install just the Administrative tools onto a Windows 10 (Version 21H1) and the latest Filezilla server package 1.0.1

The install runs for a few seconds then comes up to "Installation Aborted Setup was not completed successfully." And the last line on the GUI screen is Extract: zlib1.dll" (I attached a screenshot if that would be helpful).

Looking in the Program Files\Filezilla Server folder the files that claim to be extracted (including zlib1.dll) are all there.

I uninstalled and tried again, same result. I used Revo Uninstaller to make sure everything was gone, same result. Ran a number of Windows specific things (sfc, dism, etc) rebooted, same result. Uninstalled the Anti-virus, rebooted, tried again, same result. I'm not finding anything specifically helpful in the windows event log.

I guess I have a couple of questions:
1 - where can I find an install log that will let me try to figure this out?
2 - has anyone seen this before and what is the fix?

I'm pretty stumped at this point and just looking for a direction to go.

Thanks in advance.

Confirmed.

Just letting you know that the issue has been found and fixed. The next nightly build/releases will have the fix.

Hi - potentially silly question, where can I get to the nightly builds for Filezilla Server. I found the spot for client, but that's not what I'm after.

Thanks.

Thanks - not sure if the one that is up has the fix or if that won't be until the next one - but failed again. 2 attachments - one of where the installer got, one is what happens after I click on the shortcut on the desktop and try to connect to a Filezilla server.

The nightly in which the fix is present is today's one, it's now available from the link Tim gave above.

As for the disconnection from the server: is that sporadic, or does it always happen? Is the service active? What do the servers log say? By default they're put in the <install path>\Logs directory.

Hey - thanks - Filezilla installed fully this time - but I'm still getting the connection error (same exact one as I sent in the previous post). For this situation I'm only installing the Admin tools piece - when I check the server I'm trying to connect to I see no logs from the IP I'm connecting from.

There is not a logs folder on the Win10 PC I'm connecting from either.

I'm able to connect successfully from other computers in the same network - it's just this one that's been problematic.

Thanks.

I am not sure I have your setup completely clear, but let it be known that if no admin password is set at installation time, then the admin can only connect from localhost.

If you want to administrate the server remotely, you ought to setup a password for the admin user. I realize now this is not explained during installation, going to fix that in the next nightly.

Would that fix your problem?

Hey - Sorry, so the Win10 machine I am installing on Administers a remote Filezilla FTP server - I have a few stations around the building configured like this. When I open Filezilla server I'm presented with the login box, which I fill in my remote Filezilla FTP server address, port, and credentials. It should then just be able to connect to that remote filezilla server.

I don't need the actual Filezilla server running on the Win10 workstation, just the administrator tools.

The message I posted before of the connection aborted - that's when trying to hit the remote FTP server.

Does that clear things up?

Thanks.

So, does the remote server have a password for administrative connections set (the one in the "Administration" tab)? If there is no admin password set in the actual server, then it will accept only connections from localhost (or 127.0.0.0/8 or ::1).
Likewise, you may have to configure additional listeners, once a password is set. For remote administration from everywhere (not recommended), 0.0.0.0:14148 and [::]:14148. Best is to restrict it to your LAN IPs.

Yes, that is all set that way. It is working fine from 2 other computers I have around, but this is a brand new computer and I can't get it to connect - following my normai install procedure.

Thanks.

You should be able to configure the server to emit log files, and check those in order to see what is happening on the server side.

If you can administer the very same server from other computers, you should also be able to see in the administration interface on those computers the log from the server.

Thanks - this end point isn't even generating a log on the Filezilla server. I uninstalled the 3rd party Anti-virus, rebooted, turned off Windows Defender firewall, and tried to connect, I continue to get this same error. Connection aborted (106).

I saw on other posts that this might be a firewall thing, that's why I ripped everything else out. The client piece doesn't seem to generate logs - is there anyway for me to generate a log from the client piece?

Is there a specific meaning behind the 106 in the error message?

Thanks.
