At a customer project: they get the 550 FTP error code (ActionNotTakenFileUnavailable) when performing the LIST and NLST command. Has anybody seen this before?
Server info:
It runs in IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
In IIS log I found the sc-win32-status code: 1236 (the network connection was aborted by the local system) and the sc-win32-status code: 4294967295 (max connection setting in IIS).
Basic authentication is ON and they use No SSL certificate

Filezilla - can't access folder when connecting with other computer using ip adress but works localhost

When I am connecting using localhost on the computer the filezilla server lies on it works perfectly fine, but when I connect with IP-Adress (It is port-forwarded correctly, im 100% sure of that) this happens:
Status: Connecting to **.**.**.**:800...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
Status: Logged in
Status: Retrieving directory listing...
Command: PWD
Response: 257 "/" is current directory.
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 Type set to I
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (**,**,**,**,***,***)
Command: MLSD
Error: The data connection could not be established: ECONNREFUSED -
Connection refused by server
Response: 425 Can't open data connection for transfer of "/"
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
When this happens, it's usually a firewall configuration problem.
Besides a control connection, FTP also uses a data connection on a different port that needs to be assigned before data trasfers.
This means that you must open ports on your firewall to allow data transfers and, of course, you should make FileZilla Server aware of that.
For passive mode transfers, you should set a range of ports from the window below:
Of course those ports should be open at the firewall too. A longer discussion can be find here.

Getting errors trying to connect to my sites FTP account from Filezilla

I'm getting the following error when I try to connect to my FTP account in Filezilla using the given cPanel FTP configuration. I've gone ahead and double checked it and tried entering it manually but I continue to get the same error.
Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".
Everything I find tells me that something may be wrong in how I'm entering something but I'm sure that I am not. I'm unable to figure out this and I've worked with Filezilla and connecting to many other FTP accounts using the FTP configs in cPanel successfully.
Example FTP settings:
Host: ftp.address.com
Protocol: FTP
Encryption: Use explicit FTP over TLS if available
Logon Type: Normal
User: user#address.com
Password: ************
I've triple-checked the password and tried resetting it a few times in the cPanel.
I've tried removing the ftp. part in front of the host name to someone elses suggestions but I then get the following error:
Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
I'm at a lost and I can't figure out how to connect to my site. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Please check if your FTP server is actually working or listening. Connection refused by the server means that FTP server is not up and running. You can try to do a telnet ftp-server-ip-address 21 and see if you are able to connect or not.
Issue via ssh:
systemctl restart pure-ftpd and then systemctl status pure-ftpd to see if your ftp server is actually started. Additionally you can issue:
nestat -tunlp and check the list to see if you see the ftp service listening to the port 21. You should see an entry like this one:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8788/pure-ftpd (SER
You can restart the ftp server from WHM as well
for connecting to Cpanel through filezilla ftp client, i think this is how you should set the required things:
host: address.com
(no need to add ftp in the beginning)
User: user#address.com
Password: ************
Note that this user should be active in FTP Account.

How to properly configure a FTPconnection with Windows Azure Server.?

I'm new to Windows Azure Server configurations, and I'm trying to configure the FTP Connection. But when I access the Server with FileZilla it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong here?
I'm using IIS with FTP Server Roles installed.
Following is the error log from FileZilla
Status: Resolving address of AZR-SRV-map01.cloudapp.net
Status: Connecting to 52.187.64.207:990...
Status: Connection established, initializing TLS...
Status: Verifying certificate...
Status: TLS connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status: Logged in
Status: Retrieving directory listing...
Command: PWD
Response: 257 "/" is current directory.
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 Type set to I.
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (52,187,64,207,195,237).
Command: LIST
Response: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection.
Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
Status: Disconnected from server
I also tried the following steps in configuring the FTP Connection...
Here the endpoints have being configured from the Azure Portal.
This is how I published the FTP Site
Configured the FTP Firewall Support with the Azure Server Public IP
And enabled the firewall outbound and inbound rules..
After completing all the steps, I restarted the Microsoft FTP Service, but the problem still exists.
For now, we can't configure a active mode FTP on Azure VM. we should configure data channel port range in FTP Firewall Support, FTP work in passive mode. For example, we can use 10000-10010 ports as the data channel port range. Also, we should add ports to VM's endpoints and add then to VM's firewall inbound rules.
By the way, although the windows firewall seems to allow all traffic that’s required, we also need to enable stateful FTP filtering on the firewall:
netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFtp enable
Then restart the FTP windows service and we should be up and running:
net stop ftpsvc
net start ftpsvc
Here a case similar as you, please refer to it.

How to find port number on FTP server installed on IIS 7.5 Windows 2008 R2

I have installed a FTP Client on my local machine and I would like to transfer/upload files from my local to a remote server(Windows 2008 R2 with FTP installed on it). How can I find the port number on the remote server? Please note that I have full admin privileges on the remote server.
The default TCP FTP ports are 21 for communication and 20 for data transfer.

Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25. Telnet says 220 localhost ESMTP server ready

I am using XAMPP for deploying my java application in tomcat and also using mercury mail to send emails. Now i am just testing my application with a small java program using java mail API and mercury email. I have done the necessary configuration in Mercury to setup localhost. Now when running the java program..its says
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;
nested exception is:
java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable: connect
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:1962)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(SMTPTransport.java:654)
While my XAMPP Mercury Server is up and running with following port numbers
25, 79, 105 , 106, 110, 143, 2224
I also tested telnet command...result is as follows..
telnet localhost 25
220 localhost ESMTP server ready.
Now I'm stuck. Since i am working from my university lab and Symantec End Point Protection is installed on the systems so i cant even check if the Firewall is causing any problems....
It's almost certainly Symantec End Point Protection that is causing the problem. Probably your university doesn't want you running your own mail server.
