Using Filezilla Server? If not, wrong forum. Please respond, I will move this topic to the correct one, then.

Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted".
Error: Could not connect to server

Pls do help.

Am talking about FileZilla Server Client...

Filezilla Server or Filezilla Client? Or both?

Your client seems to be blocked by a firewall or some other pseudo-security-solution. Is this really only on upload? The initial login is successfully? If yes, I'd love to see a log, please.

FileZilla Client and this happen when am trying to login to connect to the server, I'll get something like .......

Status: Resolving address of www......
Status: Connecting to .......
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted".
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Resolving address of www.....

Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted".
Error: Could not connect to server

The initial login is NOT successfully while I try to login. Am using this FileZilla Client fine before but since last few week I could'nt be able to login.

Pls do help.

Thanks.

Did you check your firewall already? On update of Filezilla, it's executable is replaced, effectively changing it's checksum. Many firewalls and security software block applications with changed checksums, as it could indicate a malware infection. In this case you need to re-allow Filezilla in these software(s).

And did you try another server like ftp://ftp.debian.org ?

Hi All - had exactly the same problem getting onto a FTPS as being described yesterday - using 3.1.3.1 - tried everything. Then as a last resort tried an old copy of FileZilla 2.2.26a and the thing connected first time perfectly. So obviously something has changed somewhere in the basics between 2 and 3. But for anyone having this problem you may like to try with v2 of FileZilla - it worked for me.

Your server is broken. You need to upgrade to a fixed/better server.

[mart4494]

Hi Site Admin - not sure if your response was directed at myself but if the server was broken or needs upgrading I'm confused as to why everything worked with v2 and not v3. The settings were as given to myself by the other party - so confusion rules supreme here. Anyway, I'll use v2 for downloading these files via their FTPS as all is working okay with that version.

Hi, I'm getting the ECONNABORTED failure, but I confused what is the cause. Because it only happens from one computer.

On computer/network A, I've tried connecting to my FTP Server (FileZilla 0.9.28beta) and then I get the ECONNABORTED failure. I get this failure from both the newest FileZilla client and also from another FTP client. I can however connect to other FTP Servers other then FileZilla. So it seems to be something with the FileZilla server.

But on another computer/network I can connect to this same server without problems...!

Following is the debug log from the FileZilla client when I run it from the computer/network where the failure comes.

Please somebody help, I love FileZilla have been using both the server and client forever without problems, but this is a really serious problem for me because I need to get it to work on this computer... :-/

Thanks, Gath

Hi Gath

I went back to V2.2.26 which works just fine. It is something to do with V3 and I believe it is a security thing - not sure though so stand to be corrected. Followed all the posts that I could find on this one and didn't feel like telling a couple of clients their servers were bust - don't think they'd appreciate that.

Thanks for the answer. My problem is that it's the other ftp client which doesn't work with the server either and I cannot change that ftp-client which my customer uses (it's part of another program). So I would need to change the FileZilla server to something else which I'm not so keen to do since it has served me so well.

And this same ftp-client which is failing on the specificed computer/network works fine when run from other computers, that's what I don't understand, so it's not just the FileZilla server, but some combination of computer/network + server....

Best regards, Gath

Hi Garth

May not be relevant so a shot in the dark. I installed a new router (some time ago) my end and the thing was failing to connect. Then I disabled the XP firewall and left the router one operating - it was a hey presto moment. Everything suddenly worked and it was the XP firewall that was stopping everything with my setup anyway.

As I say a short in the dark. Good luck.
