Filezilla FTP Server

Can any one help,

I have set up Filezilla FTP Server on a hosted machine,
i can connect to it no problem via filezilla (client) from anywhere, but as soon as i enable SSL/TLS on the server,
and log on (as FTPES - FTP over explicit SSL/TLS)

it logs on,
etc up until it gets to the
LIST command to display the contents of the FTP Directory then it displays the message :
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

if i switch off SSL/TLS, on the server and log in as normal (FTP) it works fine.

any ideas anyone?

thanks

If you choose TLS/SSL encryption for the control connection, the FTP client will also encrypt the data sent on the FTP data connection by default.

FTP protocol does not allow you to have a secure data connection without a secure control connection.

also looking on the FZ site there have been a couple of bugfixes

FileZilla 3.1.0.1 fixes a vulnerability regarding the way some errors are handled on SSL/TLS secured data transfers.
If the data connection of a transfer gets closed, FileZilla did not check if the server performed an orderly TLS shutdown.

You'll probably get a better response from the site forum it's not an app I'm familiar with - but neither is the problem either - sounds app side to me

You seem to be trying to use FTPS.

You don't really want to do this. It's better than regular FTP (which you should never, ever use, for anything non-public), but not much better.

Find out if your server supports SFTP (note the S at the front of the abbreviation, not the back).

If so, use SFTP with Filezilla.

You may also want to make sure Filezilla is connecting to the server in passive mode.
