FileZilla Not Connecting

tezza007 · Post by **tezza007** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 17:37

For some reason I now can't get Filezilla to connect to my T4. OpenWebif is connecting fine

Status: Disconnected from server
Status: Connecting to 192.168.0.5:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
Command: USER root
Response: 331 Please specify the password.
Command: PASS
Response: 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/root
Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server

Any advice?

Filezilla 3.10.2 (it's old, it offered to update when I tried it) connected without any problem for me:

Code: Select all

Status:       	Resolving address of ataxerxes
Status:       	Connecting to 192.168.178.24:21...
Status:       	Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status:       	Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
Status:       	Connected
Status:       	Retrieving directory listing...
Status:       	Directory listing of "/" successful

I just entered the hostname ataxerxes in Host, "root" in User and clicked on Quickconnect. Left Password and Port empty. All in the Quickconnect bar.

If I entered rubbish in Password, it still connected.

Added: I upgraded to 3.14.1. Still works.

I'm on v3.14.1
Never had a problem before today

Tried FileZillas "Firewall and router configuration wizard" No idea if it's got anything to do with it. It returned this:

Connecting to probe.filezilla-project.org
Response: 220 FZ router and firewall tester ready
USER FileZilla
Response: 331 Give any password.
PASS 3.14.1
Response: 230 logged on.

Hi,

You could have left some ports open for me at least.

If you use Firefox, there an FTP plugin called FireFTP, that's what I use now, instead of FileZilla.

I do remember having the same problem, I did fix it, but can't recall the cause: probably "The Wizard".

I've found I have to use a "rubbish" PW, otherwise it asks every time.

Thanks

I ended up using Windows File Explorer

I'm using v3.14.0 Works OK and no need to update as I don't use it for anything other than for my T3
