I'm stuck on this one laptop connecting easily at home.

The FTP clients generate a generic error message that basically says a connection could not be established and/or time out. I've tried using CuteFTP, Filezilla, WinSCP and Windows explorer over wired and wireless devices. I've turned off the firewalls and deactivated anti-virus protection on all 5 of my machines (all Win 10) for testing purposes. Make sure you have permsission to access that folder.Ģ27 Entering Passive Mode (10,0,0,xx,xxx,xxx) If I take it across town to my office, I get error message:Īn error occurred opening that folder on the FTP server. If you need any further assistance, please contact your account manager by raising a support ticket or calling the office on 01785 279920.I've set up a Windows 10 file server on a desktop wired to my local network and it's accessible over my local network, but I can only connect to it over internet with one computer, a laptop over wireless, and only when connected to my LAN at home. You may be asked to convert the Private Key into a format suitable for Filezilla, but the program walks you through this easily. Once all the details are complete, hit Connect. Once these details are added you will need to enter the path to your Private Key in the Key File input field, you can either use the “Browse…” button or enter the path manually.īelow is an example of what a connection using Mac could look like. The Logon Type will be Key File and this refers to the SSH Authentication Keys that you created before.

Next you’ll need to set the Protocol to be SFTP and enter all the other server details under Host, Port and User. Click New Site and name it whatever you wish. Open up Filezilla then open the Site Manager window. You will not need a password as we use your SSH Public Key Authentication to make sure you are allowed to have access. Make sure you have the server name, port number and username. You should have an email from our Ops team with the details you will need to connect to a server. Once downloaded, it should be pretty quick to install. Select the version you require based on your operating system (Windows or Mac).

You’ll need to head over the FileZilla site to grab the latest version of the software. Below we run through the steps of how to connect a server to FileZilla. It is a free and easy to use tool that’s used by webmasters all over the world.
