Hi All, I've been fighting with TLS and ProFTP for a while now. It seems to work for a while and then go into a tizzy where it stops allowing people to log in and just times out while attempting to get a directory listing. I'm the only person in the machine so whatever changes causes this to happen aren't done by a person as far as I can tell. Here's an output of Filezilla attempting to connect: Code: Status: Connecting to xx.xx.xx.xx:21... Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Response: 220 ProFTPD 1.3.0a Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [xx.xx.xx.xx] Command: AUTH TLS Response: 234 AUTH TLS successful Status: Initializing TLS... Status: Verifying certificate... Command: USER xxxx_xxxxxx Status: TLS/SSL connection established. Response: 331 Password required for xxxx_xxxxxx. Command: PASS ********** Response: 230 User xxxx_xxxxxx logged in.

Command: PWD Response: 257 "/home/www/web20" is current directory. Command: TYPE I Response: 200 Type set to I Command: PASV Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (xx,xx,xx,xx,218,178). Command: LIST Error: Connection timed out Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing I am using the FTPES (Explicit) setting in Filezilla on port 21 but the FTPS (Implicit) does not work either. I have tried both active and passive mode with the same results. I have tried connecting directly to the IP rather than the hostname to eliminate DNS time outs with the same results. I have tried connecting with the firewall running and with it off. When off, I can usually get a little farther in that I sometimes get a directory listing before it times out, but it still times out. I have added a range of passive ports to the firewall and it hasn't helped. I cannot find any useful information in the /var/log/messages file (or any other log file that I know of). So, I am at a loss on how to figure this out now. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Thanks Jon
Hi Till, Yes, I tried it with both the firewall running and completely turned off. When turned off, I seem to be able to get farther, but it still times out on the directory listings. Thanks Jon
Things are working now. Turns out that I forgot about a bug with TLS in Filezilla 3.1 in that it has problems connecting using TLS. So....use another FTP client and all works... Jon
