Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
Thanks to assistance from Peregate I was at last able to add a user login and password, and give them access to a folder. Transfer by a friend across the pond worked just fine. Restarted the server just now and got this message
Protocol error: Auth failed, closing connection.
Connection to server closed.
Shut it down, restarted the server service, restarted the server, and the same happens.
What happened? How do I fix this one?!

Trying to connect to the administration port using the wrong password.
Re: Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
I haven't changed the password, and it was all working. Simply restarted the server. Now I can't edit the settings, as the options are disabled, and the error message just repeats itself.botg wrote:Trying to connect to the administration port using the wrong password.
What to do? Start all over, again?!
Re: Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
See the file menu and manually connect again using the actual administration password.

Yes, working again, seem to be flying on a wing and a prayer at the moment, but am sure it will all become clearbotg wrote:See the file menu and manually connect again using the actual administration password.
in the fullness of time. Success in that I've had some uploads.
Is there any guidance on what needs to be done in the Advanced Settings for the W7 firewall? I'm thinking of
the incoming rules. I have some set for Inbound Rules, have no idea whether they are necessary, but am loath
to fix something that isn't broke.
Thanks a lot for your assistance, it's much appreciated. This is a project I have been meaning to do for a few
years, but, life kept getting in the way, as it does.

See the Network Configuration guide for firewall configuration instructions.
Re: Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
Yes - however, nothing is stated as to whether you need to create inbound rules for custom ports defined for passive transfers, and the info re adding a program is for XP, not the Windows 7 firewall; so it is rather hit and miss. For example, in order to make available my network shares, which I can't make visible on the machine I am referring to here, I have replicated all settings onto the other machine, using port 21212 for ftp, and cannot make a connection at all! The Port Forward checker program tells me the port is open, but I just get a timeout from ftptest.net, and indeed, when invoked by a browser on the "main" machine.botg wrote:See the Network Configuration guide for firewall configuration instructions.
The advanced setting for the Windows 7 firewall allows you to define from Program or Port; there is no indication as to which of these should be used; similarly, using Port, should this be bound to the Filezilla Server? I'm familiar with basic firewall config stuff for Unix boxes, but it is not clear to me how the Server Program should be added as a new Inbound rule to make things work.

Either way.. allowing the program itself would be simplest(1 rule vs 2 or more rules).JeremyP99 wrote:The advanced setting for the Windows 7 firewall allows you to define from Program or Port; there is no indication as to which of these should be used; similarly, using Port, should this be bound to the Filezilla Server?
Re: Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
OK. I have three inbound rules defined, one automatically for the Server, for all protocols and all ports, and then a TCP and a UDP rule defined for Port 21, but not linked to the server. Are these two rules unnecessary, in that "all ports" and "all protocols" are defined for the server program?Cypress wrote:Read the quote below from the net config guideJeremyP99 wrote:Yes - however, nothing is stated as to whether you need to create inbound rules for custom ports defined for passive transfers, and the info re adding a program is for XP, not the Windows 7 firewall; so it is rather hit and miss.---http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Network_Configuration#Passive_mode_2 wrote:If you do not want to allow incoming connections on all ports, or if you have a NAT router, you need to tell FileZilla Server to use a specific range of ports for passive mode connections.

Re: Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
Yes, 2 extra should be unnecessary. Other thoughts -> you should only need TCP.JeremyP99 wrote:OK.

Re: Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
Excellent, will try with just the automated server entry. As an side, I'm using ftptest.net to test access - and am being asked to log in every time I change directory. Is that normal? An option?Cypress wrote:Yes, 2 extra should be unnecessary. Other thoughts -> you should only need TCP.JeremyP99 wrote:OK.

Many thanks for your advice!
Re: Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
Sorry - ftptest to check the connection, browser (firefox) to access.JeremyP99 wrote:Excellent, will try with just the automated server entry.

Ask firefox?
Re: Server restart - "Protocol error: Auth failed"
Yes, can happen with browsers, which will ask the password for every new connection unless you save it. For Firefox I recommend the FireFTP add-on.and am being asked to log in every time I change directory. Is that normal?
