Filezilla is a free and open source SFTP client which is built on modern standards. It is available cross-platform (Mac, Windows and Linux) and is actively maintained. As such Research Computing is recommending its use over previous clients, especially as it does not have some of the quirks of clients like Cyberduck or SecureFX. This document will outline setting up a bookmark in Filezilla to connect to the cluster or other RC file resources you have access to. NOTE: If your SFTP session constantly disconnects after several seconds, see this FAQ entry.

First you will need to download and install the Filezilla client You can download the latest version from Filezilla-project.org NOTE: Please download from this page and not the big green button so as to avoid bundled adware. Linux users may be able to install Filezilla using their respective package manager.

Another password box will pop up as. This is for your OpenAuth token. Enter the code shown in your OpenAuth token window (Or Google Authenticator or DUO Mobile, if you are using one of alternative token generators) and click OK.

You should now be connected to the cluster and see your local files in the left-hand pane and the remote files in the right-hand pane. You can drag and drop between them or drag and drop to/from file windows on your computer. When done, click the red X icon up top to disconnect.

I configured FTP Service/Role on my Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. I am able to connect from the inside, but not from the outside. On the inside I tested using cmd prompt and IE FTP. On the outside, I am testing with FileZilla and IE FTP. From the outside, IE FTP prompts me to enter my username/pwd, but nothing happens. Page eventually times out and I get "Internet Explorer cannot display page". Using FileZilla, I get the following messages. Note FileZilla resolved domain name and authenticates. I did not configure FTP Wirewall Support on the FTP site. I am not sure if I need to do this. I set up basic authentication, non-ssl, not allowing anonymous. I testing with Windows Firewall Turned off and on (I added windows firewall rule for port 21). On my network firewall (Cisco), I added a rule to forward port 21 traffic to FTP Server.

I understand you have NAT going on and the server has a private address. The most likely cause is you not letting the ephemeral ports through. I think that if you just made a DMZ and let everything through, it would start working. But that's insecure. The better way is to find a way to limit the range of passive ports used and forward that range to your server. Here are some instructions: -to-Configure-Passive-Port-Range-for-the-FTP-Service-in-IIS.html . Then forward that same range on the NATing router to the internal IP of your server. The tutorial linked shows 6001-6001, but I recommend that you do something like 60000-61000. The reason being that the "lower" numbers in the thousands get used by other traffic a lot whereas the higher ones tend to remain quiet.

That said, the FTP shim in the NAT should create that port mapping automatically as a RELATED connection. Check if you don't have them blocked in the firewall and if the FTP shim is even loaded. On Linux, it could be called ip_conntrack, nf_conntrack, nf_conntrack_ftp or nf_conntrack_proto_ftp depending on the version. It may be even compiled monolithically in which case you won't see it among the modules, but it will still work.

Recently I've been attempting to setup a filezilla server on one of azure virtual machines and cannot seem to get it fully running. I am currently able to get an initial connection, however subsequent data connections (i.e. for listing remote directories, file transfers etc..) always fail. I have tried following the advice on various blogs like this one:

Managed to finally figure this out after a lot of head scratching. Turns out that azure has implemented a probing of sorts on ports opened using the manager. deleting the passive ports created there and opening them up using powershell allowed this to work.

I decided that I can make it on my own, but got same error as in the queston. But then I googled a little (also saw this question), few hours of trying some manuals, and, finnaly here I found working thing!Hope it helps to other people -hosting-ftp-on-iis-7-5-a-windows-azure-vm-2/

But on windows, I doubt anything is easier than WinSCP. You just log on to the router and open in the file tree the folder you want to add something to in the router and then drag whatever you want from anywhere you want from the HDD in Windows and drop it in WinSCP and the job is done. And then you open the pre connected Putty from WinSCP if you want to run some commands on the router.

DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on top of virtualized hardware. Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use, either standalone or as part of a larger, cloud-based infrastructure.

After you add the SSH key, open the File drop-down menu and click Site Manager. The site manager lets you add, remove, and manage servers and devices that you want to connect to using FileZilla.

If you receive the error Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey), the Droplet could not locate the correct private SSH key file to authorize access for your local machine. Learn more about troubleshooting your SSH keys.

Once connected to the Droplet, use the Local site windows to navigate the directories of your local machine and locate the files you want to upload. Right-click the file you want to transfer to the Droplet, then click Upload.

To transfer files from the Droplet to your local machine, use the Remote site windows to navigate the directories of your Droplet and locate the files you want to download to your local machine. Right-click the file you want to transfer from the Droplet, then click Download.
