Problem to connect on FTP server

bobogan · Post by **bobogan** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 11:31 am

Hi all, This is the first time I see this problem.

I use the tools "send FTP", and when i try to connect i have an error message : "Unable to establish a connection with the server". On the same computer, I try with transmit or Cyberduck, and all is ok with the same information of connection.

Any idea to fix this ???

Thanks.

I'm willing to bet that this is actually incorrect. Check the port, passive mode, type (ftp/sftp), etc...

If you click "Choose FTP directory" under "FTP Directory" then you can more easily test and change the connection information.

Yes this is my normally method, I click on "Choose FTP directory", but I can't establish any connection, always the same message error. I try all method (change port, passive mode, etc...)

I don't know what i can do more than these tests...

Perhaps a local firewall that is blocking a Switch from accessing the outside internet? Outside of that, I'm unsure of what it could be besides that. Are you sure you are specifying a port in Cyberduck? It might be defaulting to one there but Switch might not do the same.

FYI, SFTP and FTPS are two different things and Switch doesn't support the latter. I've run into that once.

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem :

I try to receive files from a SFTP server on specific port 4465 and authentication with login / password

No problem with filezilla.app on the switch server, but impossible from the workflow (impossible to connect to the server when I launch the flow or when I try to select the sub-folder).

Can the mac allow filezilla to use port 4465 but not Switch ?

Very strange...
