paultwang Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I tried to use explicit TLS encryption for FTP and it did not work so well. I am behind a firewall that blocks all unsolicited inbounds. However, I also tested it on two computers that are directly connected to the Internet. Here's the not-error msg: Connected to server85.totalchoicehosting.com server85.totalchoicehosting.com 220-This computer system is for authorized users only. Individuals using this 220 ProFTPD 1.2.10 Server (ProFTPD) [66.235.180.4] 234 AUTH TLS-P successful starting SSL/TLS secure protocol TLSv1 used.

Passive mode connection to: (66.235.180.4) 46546 Connecting to remote system 66.235.180.4 46546 (passive mode) send 5,8> NLST . Opening 66.235.180.4 46546 (passive mode data channel) And here's the error msg, after almost a minute: Couldn't open data connection, Operation timed out data connection failed, waiting on server response... Same error on my home computer (Windows XP) and the two other directly connected computers (Unix). Similar error msg for explicit SSL. I monitored my net connections and saw a SYN_SENT during the wait-time to the 66.235.180.4:46546 specified by server85. But server85 seemed to have rejected the connection. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 I do not believe secure FTP is supported other than through the File Manager in cPanel. Someone will be along to correct me if I am wrong. Welcome to the family and forums, paultwang! Quote
TCH-Don Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Welcome to the Family Paul and your new home! secure ftp is only available by using cpanels filemanager. just log into your cpanel using https://example.com:2083 and select file manager. We really are like family here. So if you need anything, just ask your new family! We love to help Quote
