I have a Web Hosting Server with Full Access of Settings.
I am a Web Developer, so FTP is my daily use for updating a website.
I am using a FTP client, After setting the server information, when i tried to
connect, i recived an error while FTP client had send "MLSD" commant to server.
Here is the client LOG:

I don't know what is going wrong. My other FTP accounts for different servers is working good on the same FTP Client Software..
I've recently stumbled upon this issue too. I found none of the solutions I found within the first Google searches to be of no use, but luckily found a solution of my own...
In Site Manager change Encryption to "Only use plain FTP", mine were previously "Use explicit FTP over TLS if available".
FYI, the previous fixes I tried were:
Firewall configuration on the router - not possible due to work network and found is was only my PC.
Change something on Remote server to do with ports - Again, not
possible and was only my PC having the fault.
Switching Filezilla from Passive to Active - Didn't work
Using SSH instead - rejected
This issue is caused by firewall blocks passive connection port range where pure-ftp deamon listens
This issue can be resolved by adding passive port range in pro-ftpd.conf file as shown below
PassivePorts 60000 62000
Make sure mentioned passive port range is opened in TCP_IN of firewall allowed incoming ports
There are two solutions to this problem
change transfer mode from default to active
Use SFTP - SSH file transfer Protocol.
Both are done in site manger window. I am using the latest version of FileZilla Client with Windows 10. Changing both of these did NOT solve my problem!
Check your ftp config file, there uncomment and allow to use passive ports 30000 thru 35000.
pasv_min_port=30000
pasv_max_port=35000
Also add these ports range to your firewall TCP_IN and TCP_OUT (30000:35000).
I had same error when I using FileZilla on ubuntu. I get rid of the error by the following steps:
1. on FileZilla, open the top tab "Site Manager" page, on top right, select the "Transfer Settings" tab.
2. On "Transfer Settings" page, there are three Transfer mode:
"Default", "Active", and "Passive". Select "Active".
3. Try to connect again.

I have a "vsftpd" server running on a RHEL machine which is configured for anonymous communication.
I am trying to connect to it from a AIX 7.1 machine using ftp client.
ftp -snv host 8043
Connected to host
220 secure FTP service
ftp> user anonymous mypass
234 Proceed with negotiation.

ftp> ls -r

ftp: connect: Connection timed out
ftp>
As seen above, the cd and quote pwd command seems to work fine. But ls -r and mput commands fail with Connection timed out error.
No real helpful messages on the server logs also.
Please help on debugging and identifying the issue.
PS: The lftp clients from RHEL work fine connecting to the server.
FTP needs to open two connections to work properly. One for control and one for data.
Whenever you get "cd works but ls doesn't", the data connection is not getting established.
Troubleshooting tips:
look for any firewalls/NATs along the way
try toggling active/passive mode, this opens the data connection from the other side
look at what is happening using network debugging tools like tcpdump/wireshark
Well, after looking for many solutions. I came here now.
I am setting up WHM/cPanel for hosting website. Everything was going smooth but I am stuck on FTP connection (Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead.)
Server Details:
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
WHM/cPanel Version 11.58.0.13
FTP Server: PureFTPD
Acutal error while connecting
To fix this issue and get FTP working you need to open up more numbered ports so FTP can connect. I assume you are using CSF.
Login to WHM then go to CSF >> Firewall Configuration >>
allow TCP_In 30000:50000 and TCP_Out 30000:50000
Once you made the changes Restart the firewall
Now you need to make changes in FTP config file to use these ports, you will find this file to this location /etc/pure-ftpd.conf
Now you will see a line as follows and you will need to uncomment it
# Port range for passive connections replies. - for firewalling.
PassivePortRange 30000 50000
Restart FTP Service and should work.
I have seen different topics with variations on this question but so far I was not able to resolve the problem. I am able to FTP via Firefox, Safari and Cyberduck but when attempting the same with FileZilla I get the following error:
Status: Resolving address of ftp.url.co.uk
Status: Connecting to IPADDRESS:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response: 220-Welcome To Rumpus!
Response: 220 Service ready for new user
Command: USER EE
Response: 331 Password required
Command: PASS ***********
Response: 530 Login failed
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server
Is this a FileZilla/Firewall problem? Why can I do it so easily via other clients?
Thanks
Hey I fixed the issue by reinstalling everything. Really weird....Thanks.
I created a custom FTP server using .NET 4.0. I am running both the client and server on the same Windows 7 machine, and my firewall is entirely disabled. I can connect to it using both FileZilla and FtpUse, establish PASV mode, and browse the contents of folders just fine. The problem comes in when attempting to connect via Windows Explorer. I can log in successfully, but when Explorer sends the PASV command (see client/server exchange below) Explorer pops up a message box that says "FTP Folder Error", "An error occurred opening that folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder". The details that follow are the last two responses it received from the server. I found this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2754804/en-us) update and installed it, but it didn't help. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I open the TCP listener before returning a response from the PASV command, so I don't think it's a question of timing.

Originally, I thought the problem might be related to
Windows explorer hangs up FTP connection after PASV command
But I tried opening the passive port ahead of time and it didn't help. Instead, the problem is related to the strictness of Windows Explorer. The IP address supplied as part of the 227 response must be identical to the address of the FTP site the client initially connected. In other words, if the client connects using
ftp://localhost
(which resolves to 127.0.0.1), the IP address provided with the PASV response MUST be 127.0.0.1 - otherwise, Windows Explorer will error. This is not to say that the passive port can't be opened with IPAddress.Any - it can:
var listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 0)
However, the address returned with the result must still be 127.0.0.1 (using the above as an example). If the client initially connects with the IP of the machine, say 10.x.x.x for example, the IP address returned with the 227 response must also be 10.x.x.x.
FileZilla must somehow be more forgiving.
I'm implementing a simple FTP server. When debugging, I try to use FileZilla client to connet my server. The request and response pattern found in the command panel is listed below:
GREETING: 220 (FTP v1.0)
REQUEST: USER ***
RESPONS: 331 Password?
REQUEST: PASS ********
RESPONS: 230 login successfully.
REQUEST: PWD
RESPONS: 257 "/a/" is current directory.
REQUEST: TYPE I
RESPONS: 200 Type set to I.
REQUEST: PASV
RESPONS: 200 127,255,0,0,175,200(I specify local port 45000)
REQUEST: LIST
RESPONS: 150 here is the listing
RESPONS: 226 Transfer done.
However, there is an error followed Fail to read directroy. I think the passive connection is indeed established since I can get stream on the socket(I implement the server in C#). But I have no idea why is the error. Is it because I should send some handshake/greeting information like those in the control connection instead of sending the data directly to sync server and client? If yes, what's the status code of this information?
Thanks and Best Regards.
There is no handshake on data connection.
Maybe 'Fail to read directory' error is a result of incorrect format of the folder list your server returns?
