Connection issues - FATAL ERROR: Received unexpected end-of-file from SFTP server

#1 Post by JCFI » 2020-01-03 09:19

Hi,

I'm new to Filezilla. Only used it to connect to one server and had no issues previously. Now I try to connect but keep getting the following message:

Trace: Session sent command exit status 14
Error: FATAL ERROR: Received unexpected end-of-file from SFTP server
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::OnTerminate without error
Trace: CControlSocket::ResetOperation(66)
Trace: CSftpConnectOpData::Reset(66) in state 3
Error: Could not connect to server

The contact using the server on the other end is having no issues. I tried installing the latest version (3.46.3) but have the same issue.

Operating system:
Name: Windows 10 (build 18362), 64-bit edition
Version: 10.0
Platform: 64-bit system
CPU features: sse sse2 sse3 ssse3 sse4.1 sse4.2 avx avx2 aes pclmulqdq rdrnd bmi2 bmi2 adx lm

I tried using the configuration wizard and got the following:

Connecting to probe.filezilla-project.org
Connection established, waiting for welcome message.
Response: 220 FZ router and firewall tester ready
USER FileZilla
Response: 331 Give any password.

Response: 200 PORT command successful
LISTResponse: 150 opening data connection
Response: 503 Failure of data connection.

Anyone have ideas on what to try next?

Thanks in advance.

Please post a complete log, snippets are useless.

That is unusual, don't think I've ever seen it before.

Please contact your server administrator or server hosting provider to inquire what exist status 14 means and why the server is sending a SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packet with this code.

I have started to get this error message today on a connection that has normally worked fine. WOnder if it has to do with the recent update I just installed

This is definitely a new bug. I am getting the same issue with latest version of Filezilla, used to work before.

Same to me!
One connection especially stopped to work suddenly last night. But there are some connections that still working. I'm also with the last version of Filezilla.
