Can't connect to FTP server.

Hello all,

I am using filezilla through Xampp for developers of a game server to use as a FTP.

While setting up Xampp/Filezilla server up on our VPS I am struggling to connect through the Filezilla Administrative panel and through my own desktop (client).

Inside the administrative panel I am receiving the following errors while using 127.0.0.1 and 14147:

Code: Select all

<Date/Time> Info [Type] Message
<13/02/2024 00:50:18> Admin UI [Error] GnuTLS error -15: An unexpected TLS packet was received.
<13/02/2024 00:50:18> Admin UI/RMP Session, id: 0 [Error] Failed securing connection. Reason: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted.
<13/02/2024 00:50:18> Admin UI [Error] Session ended with error from source 0. Reason: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted.
<13/02/2024 00:50:18>  [Error] Disconnected from server 127.0.0.1:21 with error 106 (ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted).
I've disabled the firewall on the VPS too.

The client app is showing the following errors while using the VPS IP and Port 21 (for logging in)

Code: Select all

Command:	USER d2d
Response:	331 Please, specify the password.
Command:	PASS 
Response:	530 Login incorrect.
Error:	Critical error: Could not connect to server
It says my login is incorrect (I've checked spaces, there is no password for testing purposes).

Could anyone help me out?

EDIT: I forgot to add that the Filezilla Server itself is working fine and lets me log on, add users etc

Neither XAMPP nor the old 0.9.x beta line of FileZilla are supported here.

I see two problems here:
  • You say you're trying to use the Administration Interface from the 1.x line of versions of FileZilla Server to connect to the server distributed with XAMMP, which is of the 0.x line of versions: that will not work.
  • The log shows you're actually trying to connect to port 21, not 14147 (the 1.x line of FileZilla Server uses 14148 by default). 21 is usually the FTP port, which the Administration Interface cannot connect to.
