Cannot Connect to Server
I've been using FireZilla for the past 8 months and have never had a problem with it. Until recently. I had just accepted the new upgrade/new version of FileZilla and now my sever will not connect at all. I've been using the same Quickconnect address everytime and haven't had a problem. This is what I get when I click on my quickconnect:
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Delaying connection due to previously failed connection attempt...
Status: Resolving address of ftp.happy-poop.com
Status: Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".
Error: Could not connect to server
It tries to connect over 4 seperate times; all the same listing as such. I've read through most of the guide lines, forum questions and answers..and honestly. A lot of it is way over my head to fully comprehend what may be the problem. I know my firewall is not blocking it and internet connection is working perfectly. I've checked through all that. It frustrates me that I can't figue this out and I'm going to feel really silly if this is a simple fix.
If anyone can help, this is greatly appreciated!

Re: Cannot Connect to Server
I am having the same problem this morning. Downloaded the update this morning. Something told me to make my changes before I did the download, but I didn't. I wish I had. Now, I'm stuck with changes that need to be made and can not get them uploaded on the website.
Re: Cannot Connect to Server
Did you re-allow Filezilla in the firewall? With the update Filezilla's checksum changed, hence firewalls treats it as a new program. Usually firewalls ask the user to confirm the change, but some are not. ZoneAlarm is an example.

Re: Cannot Connect to Server
Yes, I re-allowed Filezilla in the firewall. Still will not allow connection.
Re: Cannot Connect to Server
Would you try 68.180.151.123 or 68.180.151.124 instead of the hostname? If that works, your DNS resolving is blocked.

Re: Cannot Connect to Server
I am also having the same troubles. I have set FileZilla server up many times in the past, and do not understand what the problem is this time.
When I try to connect to my FTP server, I get this error:
Status: Connecting to 71.41.18.176:21...
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
From the admin side it says:
FileZilla Server version 0.9.31 beta

Connecting to server...
Connected, waiting for authentication

I can assure you that there is no firewall blocking the connection, and that the connection is properly forwarded to the computer through the router. I have 21 and 80 both forwarded to the same machine, and the HTTP server works fine (http://71.41.18.176/).
Furthermore, I can connect to the FTP server just fine from my internal network, just can not connect to it through the external IP. Maybe I need to forward additional ports?
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions as to what the problem might be, please let me know. I fear I am going to have to try an older version. I know this post is a few months old, but there is no solution, and I need one please, thanks!

Re: Cannot Connect to Server
Yeah, but unfortunately forwarding port 21 is not enough for FTP. Read Network Configuration.I have 21 and 80 both forwarded to the same machine, and the HTTP server works fine (http://71.41.18.176/)

Re: Cannot Connect to Server
Hi I am having the same problems. I have enabled port forwarding on 50000. I am using explicit ftps over tls.
I know it works because another user on another machine is accessing the server. I am admin so I should be able to connect.
I CAN connect with my credentials using my ANDROID phone FTP app and using Https from this very computer but not with ftp on filezilla client. However, I have previously been able to connect with a normal ftp connection when I enable PF on 21 but I wanted something more secure. Voila no access.
My server is rejecting the connection for some reason it is a netgear readynas 312.
here is what I get
Status: Resolving address of dnsname.com (my DNS name)
Status: Connecting to XXX.XX.XXX.X:50000... (my IP address)
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error: Could not connect to server
and my settings are as follows. I have tried active and passive transfer but to no avail. Does the server have a maximum number of conections and that's it? I have restarted the server and filezilla. Any ideas?
