Cannot access vsftpd service via WinSCP

Cannot access vsftpd service via WinSCP

I built the vsftpd environment in Ubuntu box. And I chose the FTP protocol: FTP over explicit TLS/SSL.

Then I succeeded to access that vsftpd service via FileZilla, but I cannot via WinSCP. ("Connection Failed" error message was displayed.)

Is that the WinSCP setting issue or the setting on server side or other reason? Is there some advise?

Server-side vsftpd.conf: (Ubuntu Server 13.04, i386)

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES

ssl_enable=YES

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

What version of WinSCP are you using?

Please attach a full log file on Debug 2 level using the latest version of WinSCP.

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

Thank you for replay.

I use the latest version of WinSCP, 5.1.5.
I got the Debug 2 level log, but I don't know what is what.
Is it indicated that SSL 3 protocol is always required for my circumstance?
Will you give me help?

The Debug 2 level log is following:

WinSCP does not allow SSLv2 anymore. If that's what you ask.

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

I see.
So I understand that the setting ssl_sslv2=YES in the vsftpd.conf is of no use when I use WinSCP to access the vsftpd service. It's ok, but my problem has not been resolved.

I have tried several additional settings in the vsftpd.conf, for example, ssl_tlsv1=YES, ssl_sslv3=YES, but the situation that can not be connected vsftpd service via WinSCP does not change. Any help?

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

Sorry. My FTP server is now located inside the LAN.

By the way, I can make the FTP server in the VMware virtual machine. Is it OK for you to try testing? (It may be required few days for me to build such an environment. )

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

Sounds good. But first, I have sent you an email with development version of WinSCP for testing.

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

Thank you for sending me a debug version of WinSCP. I tried to access the FTPS server via the debug version of WinSCP, but it failed. (I got alomost the same error log and cannot access the server.)
Any help?

I used WinSCP settings as follows:
File Protocol: FTP
Encryption: TLS Explicit encryption (I also try SSL Explicit encryption)
Minimum TLS/SSL version: SSL 3.0
Maximum TLS/SSL version: TLS 1.0

Its output log is as follows:
(I changed the server environment, so there are a few differences between this log and the former log I posted before in this forum.)

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

Ok, thanks. Can you please proceed with creating a test account for me on the virtual machine?

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

I built the VMware virtual machine, so will you try to test the FTPS access via WinSCP using this virtual machine?

Please access <invalid hyperlink removed by admin> and download VMmachine_UbuntuSvr32.7z (333MB). Extracting this 7zip file creates a subdirectory called UbuntuSvr32, and there exists UbuntuSvr32.vmx and _README.txt. Read _README.txt for a little bit of information about the server, the user account and so on.

Regards,
Matsuyama

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

I got the debug version of WinSCP, and tested the FTPS access with it. Then the test is successful.

Very much thanks.

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

Hi,
We are exactly in the same situation (vsftpd with explicit SSL/TLS and can't connect with WinSCP 5.1.7)
Where can we download the corrected version of WinSCP (version 5.1.8?), or when this version will be publicly available?

Thanks

@jmh: Thanks for your report.
I have sent you an email with a development version of WinSCP to address you have used to register on this forum.

We have the same problem here – can you please send us the link for the 5.1.8-dev version as well?

Thankx ... peter@freimann.cz

Hi,

I seem to be getting the same problem. I've tried everything I can find on every forum I can find and still no luck. FileZilla connects ok.

Did this fix ever make it through to 5.5.6 and 5.6.5 RC or am I barking up completely the wrong tree here?

(Same vsftpd config as original poster and same WinSCP client config other than supported min/max TLS versions both at v1.0, although I have tried just about every combination available – and I am using a different passive port range).

@pddaniels: Can you share a FileZilla log too?
Can you share your host address, so we can try to connect ourselves? (no need for credentials, just the hostname/IP address, you can put it into a private attachment here for privacy).

From your FileZilla log, I can see that despite the 990 port (TLS/SSL implicit), it's connecting in TLS/SSL explicit mode. That's quite wrong setup (on the FTP server-side). Even FileZilla "comments" on that:
Status: Selected port usually in use by a different protocol.
So try to select the TLS/SSL explicit mode in WinSCP. Note that WinSCP automatically selects "implicit" mode when you type "990" for port. So you need to first type the port and then override the TLS/SSL mode to explicit.

Re: Cannot access vsFTPd service via WinSCP

And success!

I hadn't noticed the explicit switching back to implicit when I changed the port.

You're a star. Many thanks!

something is still wrong here. if you start winscp on the command line with "winscp ftps://<hostname>", then it fails to connect. shouldn't it 'just work' ?

I've has the exact same problem in version 5.19.4. I was using VSFTPD with no SSL. Turns out my vsftpd.chroot_list was not where it was supposed to be.
