http://ubuntuforums.org – I am new to Ubuntu and in windows I use filezilla to log in to my ftp server. In Ubuntu, i know there is also a filezilla, but i am just curious is there any way to connect to the server via command line? Thanks (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] FTP via command line?

I have setup SFTP and have working from the command line thru a fios router on port 22 (the default). Server is on 12.04. laptop is on 11.04 filezilla works just fine both on the lan side and bouncing out of the lan to the DYNDNS site to access the sshd server.

Filezilla can't connect with ftp server and I try with other client like as gFTP and I don't have any problem.

Filezilla always give me a Timeout!

Thanks

I setup a proftpd server that uses TLS/SSL certificate for authentication.

Everything works well when I connect through lftp or Filezilla (with explicit connection). But once I attempt connecting with simple ftp connection from Filezilla, the USER command ends with the 550 response (SSL/TLS required).

A client of mine has a IIS 7 FTP server in Active mode sitting behind a Cisco ASA 5505. This setup is known good, as external clients (once instructed on IE settings) are able to connect to the FTP server without a problem. Command-line FTP in Windows and FileZilla set to Active mode also work as expected.

A sister company of this client now has users trying to connect, but are unable to.

I am trying to connect to my VirtualBox LAMP Server with FileZilla, and it's not working. I have a static IP set, a FTP user set (with FTPd), and can connect successfully with ftp localhost, but not with Filezilla with the same credentials.

I am new to Linux command line, just familiar with Linux desktop environment not command line. My problem is

Our client in different country provided us a VPN connection which we connect through Sonicwall net-extender.

I am using

Fedora 16 (client end) CentOS 6 (server end) I have no command line access to server FileZilla 3.5.2

I have enabled "Force showing hidden files"

After enabling I have restarted filezilla and PC.

But still not showing hidden files. System Admin ensured me the list of hidden files there exists. I can upload hidden files from my end (client) but i can't see at server end.

We are using FileZilla as an FTP server in Windows machines (Win 7, Win 2008), and I notice that it is missing some FTP commands. In particular I miss the "TYPE I" command, because some of the our applications use Apache Commons NET FTPClient, which uses TYPE I and not BINARY.

Any idea why is that?

This was working well until a couple of days ago. I can't recall having done anything to the server leading it to start closing the connection. Also I have no idea what exitcode 128 means, and can't find anything about it.
