ftps gives "Unable to build data connection"

[David Marcus]

This was working fine until recently. Not sure when I last tried it, but pretty sure it was working a month or two ago. Now, if I copy a file to my webserver via ftps, I get the error shown below. Plain ftp works fine and FileZilla has no problem with ftps.

It was working for a while (I believe), but the error has returned. TCC 15.01.50 Windows Vista [Version 6.0.6002].

I just successfully copied files to & from the JP Software ftp site via SSL, so I don't think it's a generic problem with TCC. A 425 error is usually caused by the server reusing the back connection client socket before Windows has timed it out (240 seconds default).

There's no way I could try to debug what's happening on your server without getting access to it.

I've emailed an ftp account username and password to support.

When I get the error, a zero-byte file is created on the server (overwriting the existing file, if there was one).

I still get the error with TCC 15.01.54.

Fixed in 16.01.46.
