error in SSLv2/v3 read

I can't get WINSCP to connect to a FTP site w/ SSL Explicit encyption.
The server certificate was issued by VeriSign and was fully trusted by the OS by default.

I can get this to work with CuteFTP but everything else I have done is using WinSCP - so I'd like to get it working with that.
I have queried "error in SSLv2/v3 read" but the results bring back no solutions.

Any ideas?

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

I am also experiencing the same error in trying to FTPS a file to a remote server. It says "SSL_connect: error in SSLv2/v3 read server hello A"

Did anyone figure out how to resolve this?

I should add I can connect just fine with Filezilla and this is my version of WINSCP:

WinSCP Version 4.3.4 (Build 1428) (OS 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2)

Thanks for your post. This is likely releated to this issue:
https://winscp.net/tracker/668

Any idea when this bug will be fixed? I'd prefer to use WinSCP and not have to buy another FTP program. But I've got to get this up and running in the next two weeks.

If you check the tracker link above, you'll find that the bug has been fixed and will be included into the next release.

I have the same problem - maybe it has something to do with certificates?

Have you tried 5.0.7 beta?

I have just tried 5.0.7 and get the same error. The graphical interface works fine, but /script function gives this error:

Please start a new thread for your problem. Include a full session log file. And also a log file from any other FTPS client showing a successful connection.
