FileZilla not working with box.com ftp | debug help

#1 Post by johnny_canuck » 2020-07-13 01:25

So, been using FZ for years -- current incarnation (3.48.1) under Windows 10 (Home and Pro). One of the servers I point the FZ client at is box.com. Normally works fine, but as of today, no such luck. Normally, you simply use the following config:

Server: ftp.box.com
Username: Your Box account email address (SSO log in not supported)
Password: Your Box account password
Port: <leave blank>
For implicit encrypted connection (FTPS): 990
For standard, unencrypted connection (FTP) or explicit encrypted connection (FTPES): 21. Transfers may be slower when using encryption due to additional processing.
TLSv1.2 is required. TLSv1.0 and TLS 1.1 are no longer supported.

I've been using implict over 990 for years - no problem. But not, absolutely refuses to connect. Every other client I've tried (gFTP, WinSCP, CyberDuck, etc) all work *perfectly*. Just not FileZilla...

Before someone says 'its a problem with box.com' (which doesn't easily explain with FZ is the *only* client I've tried that fails), I'm hoping someone can help me debug things, so I can communicate same to box.com support. I've set debug level to verbose, and dumped session details into a log (edited version of same below), but...is there anything else I should consider fooling with, or recroding in some fashion?

Thanks in advance...

What is the displayed certificate fingerprint in the certificate verification dialog? You should be able to access it through the lock icon in the status bar that briefly shows.

OK -- thanks. I'll try that and report back when I get a chance.

Well, in fact, there is no 'lock' icon, because it never gets that far. So, no certificate information to provide.

So, I blew away the certs .xml file, and tried connecting to box.com again. Whats interesting is that FZ pops up a window saying ''Unknwon certificate'. I went ahead an 'accepted' it, but FZ still refuses to connect to box.com.

Now, the added wrinkle is, when I weent into my office this morning (University network), FZ connected to box just fine. But, at home, using Spectrum as my ISP - nada. Configurations are identical.
