    1. Make sure /etc/pure-ftpd.conf has PassivePortRange uncommented ex: PassivePortRange 30000 35000 2. Make sure your firewall is allowing access over the passive port range If you are using ConfigServer Firewall (CSF), then you would set up in /etc/csf/csf.conf like this: TCP_IN = "20,21,25,26,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,967,993,995,2077,2078,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,30000:35000" NOTE: The passive port numbers are somewhat arbitrary. If "PassivePortRange" is commented out in your /etc/pure-ftpd.conf, the port range is probably different. That is okay. You just need to uncomment PassivePortRange in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf (and run /scripts/restartsrv_pureftpd) and then add that same port range to TCP_IN= in /etc/csf/csf.conf and then run 'csf -r' to restart CSF. If you are using some other firewall, you will have to make sure that you have allowed the passive port range in on your firewall. mike

    Hello :) As mentioned in the previous reply, firewalls are the major possibility for such issues. Since FileZilla uses FTP over TLS by default, If the server isn't configured correctly for explicit FTP over TLS, then the error can occur. As a workaround you may change the connection settings to plain FTP connection or SFTP. You can set it by switching the "Encryption" settings present in Site Manager in FileZilla.
