Passive Mode FTPS (TLS/SSL implicit) over SOCKS5 Fails.

2012-08-14 16:35

using version 4.3.9 and 5.0.8, I have tried several FTPS sites including ftp.secureftp-test.com, via a SOCKS5 proxy. On all sites I get a warning box called "Error listing directory '/' with content:

GetPeerName failed
Could not retrieve directory listing
Entering Passive Mode (64,65,53,234,39,31)

I had more success with version 4.3.6, but on that ca
The relevant segment of the log is:

Could it be related to SSH handling?

2012-08-15 21:54

See this post on the Filezilla Client forum...

https://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?t=8110

I have now tried re-installing winSCP 4.3.6, but whereas previously it was retrieving directory listings, now it does not.

I need to use an FTP client that can handle scripted commands, and Filezilla Client does not. I have looked at LFTP, but am on Windows not Linux, and setting up LFTP Cygwin will be complex, and I need a fast soultion: any ideas?

This was it working with V4.3.6 (now it doesn't)

2012-08-15 23:10

this is an example log with some details obfuscated for security and site policy reasons.
This is a successful listing in v4.3.6 - I have obfuscated account and address details for security reasons.

Any chance of getting a test account on your server?

I do not control the servers I am trying to upload to, but I can ask. It seems to affect any FTPS server that I connect to. If you know an FTP server that supports FTPS where you have an account, then I could try to connect to that (if you want to see the server logs)

Many Thanks,

I have emailed you the debug logfiles for two attempts. The connection now works on most servers, with debug version 5.0.8 but still doesn't with 4.3.9. I found that one server wasn't working, but this was cured when "force IP in passive mode" is un-checked.

Is this related to bug 883?

Still getting Zero-byte uploads with 5.1.2

2012-12-10 13:24

I have just installed 5.1.2 and I am still unable to upload files using FTPS over a SOCKS 5 proxy:

1) I can connect and retrieve directory listings (I can establish the SSL/TLS connection)
2) I can download files (PASSV connections seem to work)
3) The same account works with Filezilla FTP client (the user account has the correct rights on the server)
4) The log files give no indication of a failed upload and the file is created, it is just zero bytes.

I am using Windows 7 32bit and I did a custom install without the drag & drop extensions because my Virus checker (Sophos) reported the registry changes for the drag & drop extensions as susspicious activity when I installed 5.1.1 so I was not sure that the extension had correctly registered.

I will email you the log file.
