Edventures in Normalcy

So, I have a default (mostly) install of FileZilla Server:

I can connect just fine using FileZilla Client, but not Cyberduck (originally on a Mac, but I replicated the issue on Windows).

I kept getting this error:

Very useful, obviously, the log on the server only shows this:

(000098)1/7/2013 15:49:37 PM – (not logged in) (127.0.0.1)> Connected, sending welcome message…
(000098)1/7/2013 15:49:37 PM – (not logged in) (127.0.0.1)> disconnected.

My setup was straight forward, for FileZilla:

Host: [remove here in this post]

Port: 990

Protocol: FTP

Encryption: Require implicit FTP over TLS

Username: [remove here in this post]

Password: [remove here in this post]

This works, no problem, none.  I then imported this site into Cyberduck, and can no longer connect.  After messing with settings, I come to find out that for this to work, I had to set the port to 21.  That’s it as far as I can tell.  Below is a screen shot of the settings screen that worked (outside of obviously changed details).  Weird, this is more of a note in case I run into this again.

I ran into this error, the fix was to hard set the IP resolution for the hostname I was connecting to within the local hosts file.  I also ended up adding an Out rule to the local firewall for the port I was connecting to.  Per the FileZilla forums “Either there is no such host, your DNS configuration is broken or some firewall is blocking FileZilla.”.

I received this error when connecting to an FTP server, to resolve this error, I had to prefix hostname I was connecting to with ftpes:// as apposed to just ftp://.
