Filezilla cannot connect - coreftp does

[chrissezhi]

So I am trying to access a FTP site using Filezilla - which I prefer. For the life of me I cannot access the site. I have included the below. I also tested with https://ftptest.net/ and got the below results. Also using CoreFTP no issues.

Hopefully someone may be able to shed some light. Thank you for your time. xxxx are to hide the innocent

Firewall blocking FileZilla seems most likely.

[chrissezhi]

would by into that - however - I just used cuteftp as well and no issues????

[botg]

Perhaps it is not blocked by some firewall for some reason?

[boco]

Firewalls block application-specific so it is entirely possible only FileZilla is blocked. Allow FileZilla.exe and fzsftp.exe.

[chrissezhi]

Thanks - no windows firewall is in place. Actually the service is disabled in Windows. The server/ftp trying to access is sitting behind a CentOS server and Cisco ASA, if this helps out at all. If I try Filezilla on Linux Mint, it works. Will not work on Windows 7 platform. Once again, if I try CuteFTP, CoreFTP, and ftptest.net all will work.

[botg]

Did you try the alternative clients from the same machine?

[chrissezhi]

yes, the alternative clients are from the same machine.

[botg]

This screams firewall imho.

[chrissezhi]

Figured it out, it was a connection setting within Filezilla. Noticed that CoreFTP and CuteFTP took a moment to connect and show directories. Made the change from 20 to 0 in Edit/Settings/Connection and changed the Timeout settings. Once this was done, connected like a champ.

Thanks for everyone taking a look.
