FTPSimplicit question (General questions)

Hi

I tested SFTP with WinSSHD, slowly but works great...
Now I'm testing FTPS connection, it works fine with FileZilla Server...

The doc says: ...FTPSimplicit protocol that is same as above, but will negotiate SSL before any commands are sent to the server...

My question is: it would encrypt data connection used to transfer files? as in FTPSwithdata or just the usr/pwd like in FTPSnodata?

Is there a way to change 990 port?

Thanks

Miguel,

My question is: it would encrypt data connection used to transfer files? as in FTPSwithdata or just the usr/pwd like in FTPSnodata?

Yes, it will encrypt both command and data channels.

Is there a way to change 990 port?

Why not? You can set Port property to anything you like. It defaults to 990, but can be anything else.

Regards.

That was fast support!

My question about the 990 port is beacause if I configure FileZilla Server to listen for SSL/TLS connections on something different to 990 port and I set that port on the FtlDLX and try to connect with FTPSimplicit mode, it doesn't work, fails with #10061: The requested connection has been refused by the remote host , it work's only with 990 port. If I connect with the FileZilla Client it works. Maybe I missed something...

Miguel,

set Port property *after* you set Protocol property.

[:cool:]Now it works!

[:uhoh:]But another problem with implicit mode:
I'm creating a collection of the files in the remote path and subdirs using the listdir command and then going recursive for each typeDirectory entry. The code works great with the others modes (ftp, sftp, ftpsnodata, ftpswithdata) but with ftpsimplicit I get the error 10060-Connection timed out. at random subdirs

Passive mode is used.
Test directory has 5k files, 200 subdirs in up to 4 nested levels.
Timeout set to 30. (If I let timeout = 0 then the app freeze on the listdir command for long time and finally return with the same 10060 error).

Maybe this is problem of the Filezilla server and not of the ftpdlx component, any idea?

Thanks!

Miguel,

I don't know enough about filezilla to tell you what could be the problem. I can try to duplicate it to see if we can determine if it's our or their problem.
Did you notice this with any other server? Or, did you notice it with any other client when it connects to filezilla? Can you try, for example, FTP Voyager?

I installed Serv-U and now it works fine, and in the other modes its faster than Filezilla, unfortunatelly Serv-U is not free [:wink:]

Are you partners of soft Rhino? jeje

Thanks for your support!

Not partners, just good friends.

And I know their stuff works correctly, so its good for testing.

Any suggestion for the SFTP Server for Windows?
WinSSHD works fine and it is easy to config but it is slow

You can try www.freeftpd.com , that's ours too. And it's free.
