Well there is nothing wrong with the server and works fine regardless of what YOU feel is broken. I deal with a bunch of different server/hosting companies that do not support this new change so I don't have no choice but to stick to an older version of this software (which I'm considering no longer doing) or go to a different software that allows me to quickly connect do what i need to do and go on.

Caveman also knows how to use sticks to make fire, rather than experiment with two blocks of ice to do it.

without any type of encryption all data received and transferred (including passwords) can be seen with a bit of work. I don't get why some servers say that it supports FTP over TLS when it does not. THATS the problem, the server saying it has TLS support when it does not.

I've been looking over this thread and I've got to say that the response from the Admin is the type of arrogant, narcissistic response that I would expect from Apple, Microsoft, etc. Basically, "There's nothing wrong with our app. The problem is yours."

Am I the only one that has to download software off of servers that I have absolutely no control over? Do you expect me to call my customer and tell them that I can't get the file that I'm supposed to be working on until they fix their server? And no, they haven't heard of this problem from their other contractors.

And if it's all about the servers, why does an older version still work?

Sheesh! :x

As has been mentioned multiple times in this topic: You were not using FTP over TLS in the old version. If you were to use FTP over TLS in the old version with the same servers, you will get the same problem.

As has also been mentioned multiple times in this topic: If you, for whatever reason, cannot get the server fixed, you can still force plaintext FTP in the Site Manager if you don't mind the total lack of security.

Uh... no. That did not resolve the issue for me. The only way I was able to connect is by downgrading.

splice wrote:Solved this issue server-side. Maybe someone else mentioned this but I haven't read through all 10 pages of the thread. Filezilla stating 'a few servers may be improperly configured.' Well if by 'a few' they mean 'all commerical servers running WHM/cPanel', then yes.

The problem is simply that the proper ports arent being opened and defined by the FTP server and server firewall to allow for TLS in passive mode. Here is the super simple solution, this is for servers running pure-ftp and csf firewall, as most cPanel servers do. Of course, the server admin has to be the one to fix this.

1) Open ports in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf : uncomment the line { #PassivePortRange 30000 50000 }
2) Open ports in /etc/csf/csf.conf (or whatever firewall): add 30000:50000 to the TCP_IN line
3) TLS encryption can be left on 'optional' in the 'FTP server configuration' section of WHM
Very similar to what I explained back on January 15th at viewtopic.php?p=130695

The stance that hosts have their servers "incorrectly configured" or "broken" is, in addition to being somewhat smirky, flat-out WRONG.

There are plenty of hosts that users will run into this with because those hosts use strong security! I know, sounds unbelievable but it's true.

I've used and loved FileZilla for many years, but I have to say they have been quite rude about this to many users in many posts on here.

But hey, you can get away with that when your product is free and popular, right? So why be nice, right?

If this was a paid product you'd never see so many users (customers) getting treated so rudely.

Fellow Users - your host is not "broken" or "configured wrong" , except by FileZilla's decided new standards.

If these hosts use strong security, why is doesn't secure FTP over TLS work with those hosts? Instead they force their users to use insecure FTP.

That option isn't really an option> I'm not going to use it if I can't use Quickconnect and you can NOT set it up using SiteManager and have it a quick connect option. Now if you wish to make it apply in that manner on a follow up release along with the option to disable this newly forced upon change then great.

Hi,

I've been unable to connect to my host/server since the update. When I tested the FTP online, it said it worked but there were some warnings. I've tried to configure all these different settings on actual FileZilla with no success, though. I keep getting different errors. I'll copy and paste the most common one.
I've disabled my firewall, set it to plain FTP, used 3 different networks, and I'm still unable to connect. Anyone have any ideas? HEre are the most common errors:

I find it interesting that you would say this, Since I get the following at the test you suggested in another post

Code: Select all

Your server is working and assorted routers/firewalls have been correctly configured for explicit FTP over TLS as performed by this test.
So as you can see I do infact have my servers setup to correctly use ftp over TLS
When using FileZilla 3.9.0.6 I can connect using explicit ftp/ssl

However as soon as anyone does an update to 3.10 we get a failure

Code: Select all

Interesting, its the EXACT same account with the exact same settings, the exact same firewall ( running both side by side on same PC )

3.9 connects 3.10 breaks and you want to tell me that my server is configured wrong and that in older versions I was NOT using secure connections....

it is now time to Call Bull and the Log entries prove it

RC4-SHA
The insecure RC4 is disabled since 3.10.1-rc1. If your server doesn't support (or isn't configured to support) stronger ciphers, I can see why you can't connect.

RC4 is insecure and MUST NOT be used. See RFC 7465 for reference. FileZilla implements RFC 7465.
I get the following at the test you suggested in another post

Code: Select all

Your server is working and assorted routers/firewalls have been correctly configured for explicit FTP over TLS as performed by this test.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I've updated the test site to no longer use RC4, so that it too will now fail on your server.

First, please be patient with my ignorance, but I am trying my best to learn. Unfortunately, I feel that I'm currently below sea level. :shock:

I too am getting the problem expressed earlier in this thread. Below is a copy and paste of what happens when I try to connect to my newly self hosted Wordpress site with BueHost

Going through this thread, I can see this comment appearing frequently
"If you don't mind the total lack of security, you can always force use of plain FTP in the Site Manager."
However, I don't know how to 'force use of plain FTP in the site manager'. I assume I need to log into my BlueHost cPanel and change a setting?
