FileZilla
For moths, FileZilla has been telling me to upgrade to the latest version.
Today I did, being a little worried that I would not be able to connect to any of my existing sites.
Sure enough, that's EXACTLY what happened. It cannot connect to ANY site I have. It seems I have the site connection data, but it can't connect to any.
Is there a way to go back to the prior version?
Is there a trick?

It says:
TLS connection established.
Status: Server does not support non-ASCII characters.
Status: Connected
Status: Retrieving directory listing...
And never retrieves it.
Of course I'm in the middle of projects & I NEED FTP.

Thanks, I have NO CLUE what the previous version was.
Why do they do this, it's supposed to be helpful, not screw you!!!

Try a trial version of WS_FTP Pro (ipswitch.com). This has always worked for me.
Just a shot in the dark: make sure your Antivirus/Firewall did not sandbox the new version of Filezilla.
It's pretty common.
Simply disable your AV/FW for 5 min, restart Filezilla and see if it connects.

@John, why buy something when you got a perfectly good and free alternative?
I use Filezilla for 5+ years, I always update to the newest version and never had a problem.

WS_FTP is the TOP FTP product around and it has good support. That is why. You get what you pay for.
Also check the FZ settings as I suggested above to see if that is the issue.

To all,
See attached.
Note the Encryption: Use Explicit FTP over TLS if available.
I looked at that pulldown & changed it to "regular" or whatever the equivalent was.
Works fine now.
I understand the need for security, but if it doesn't work............
Come on, man!

The actual text on the one that worked is: "Only use plain ftp".
As I said, Come on, man!

John Hurst,
I used to use WS_FTP, but went to FileZilla about 4 - 5 years ago, as the man said, it's free.

Yup, it's changed to that default for a month now. I already got used to it (my sites work over TLS) so forgot about it :)

What is TLS?
My guess is the "S" stands for Security
My guess is the "S" stands for Security
I have Filezilla and I use it on my Mac. But on my PCs I use CoreFTP Lite (free) which supports plain FTP, SFTP, Auth TLS which I actually have to use on two sites, and some others. Consider it as an alternative to Filezilla.
TLS is the current version of SSL. It's for encrypting the connection to the server.

Just pick the one you had and reinstall.
HTH,
