fzsftp could not be started

[onosan]

Hi

On a mac running OS X 10.5.3 I try to connect via sftp to my pair-account. But I constantly get the err.msg:
Status: Connecting to xxx.pair.com:22...
Error: fzsftp could not be started
Error: Could not connect to server

I'm running the latest (3.0.10) version and I have no problem connecting via 'normal' ftp or connecting via sftp vith other clients (Transmit, YummyFTP etc.)

Suggestions anyone?

That's the full path and the name of the FileZilla app bundle?

[onosan]

err - could you pls. elaborate?!

I have installed the latest build from the downloaded dmg-file and I can easily connect to the server with normal FTP. I haven't set/changed anything. Didn't work on the version before either.

FileZilla doesn't come in a .dmg

It's just an application bundle inside a .tar.bz2

Where did you put said bundle and what's the bundle name?

[onosan]

you are absolutely right - i must be getting old or tired

of course it directly expands to filezilla.app. I do not understand what you mean by "Where did you put said bundle and what's the bundle name?"

I dragged FileZilla.app into a subdirectory of my application folder. Just as I always do

The program starts fine and as said it perfectly connects to the same account using normal ftp on 21 its only when trying to

sftp://myserver.pair.com i get the err.msg

When I rightclick on the app, I see:

- content
Info.plist
- MacOS
filezilla
fzputtygen
fzsftp
- Resources
...
- SharedSupport
...

this is normally not something I fiddle with

What's the full path of your Applications directory? What's the name of FileZilla listed in your Applications directory?

[onosan]

my application directory is fully std placed in the root:

/Applications

and the app itself is placed in:

/Applications/File Tools/FileZilla.app

[botg]

It seems the space between File and Tools is the problem. I'll fix it for 3.0.11

[onosan]

tada - yes it was. Removing the space did the trick. Thanks a lot for your help !

Hi, super newbie here. I'm trying to connect to a server, but it says that "fzsftp could not be started". The port is 9022, and I can connect to the server via terminal/putty with ssh. Please help. Thanks!
