Determing version of TLS used on server

I have inherited a Filezilla Server and trying to determining which version of TLS is being for FTP over SSL/TLS.

The only supported FileZilla Server version is 0.9.60 - that one is providing FTP over TLS 1.2. Note that the negotiated TLS version can be lower, if the client does not support TLS 1.2. Lowest possible is 1.0, AFAIK. The old SSL versions are not possible.

Hint: Use FileZilla to connect to your server, then click the lock at the lower right. Session details reveals the TLS version used.

Yes. Several security issues have been fixed since then. You absolutely MUST update.

I don't have permissions yet to upgrade the server. I just need to figure out if this version of the server will accomodate TLS 1.2.

You need to find a new job ASAP. Bad policies like that are going to result in disaster eventually.

I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions but I just need to know which version of TLS is supported by that version of server.

We cannot support outdated versions of FileZilla Server.

Can you help me figure out what setting is causing this issue?

One possibility is the AV software, locking the file while scanning.
A second possibility is that another program/process on the server machine is holding the file open (Excel, maybe?).
Third possibility: The service part of FileZilla Server did run under a different user account, previously. As updating re-installs the service, the service account gets reset to SYSTEM and needs to be configured again.

Thank you.

It was number 3. we are still having some trouble with people accessing via automated protocols. Below is an error that we had received from the client.

“TLS session of data connection has not resumed or the session does not match the control connection”

The mentioned error message is the result of a security vulnerability in the accessing clients. By default, FileZilla Server requires every client to support TLS session resumption (for mitigation of connection stealing attacks).

For a short-term workaround, you can disable TLS session resumption requirement*, but the affected clients should be fixed urgently.



*Uncheck the highlighted checkbox.
