I am unable to connect to the server with filezilla but with winscp I am able to connect. Both filezilla and winscp connect using port 22. Why is filezilla unable to connect to the server?

I am able to connect already. solution: Set timeout = 0 in filezilla. Apparently, my server needs more time to connect therefore setting timeout to 0 will prevent the connection to timeout.

  • Weird, WinSCP connects just fine for me in 17 secs, but FileZilla only connects when I make the timeout greater than the default 20 secs. This is on an IONOS server (formerly 1&1) Apr 21, 2023 at 15:29

I had the same problem, but in this case it was necessary to check "Bypass proxy" on the Site Manager/advanced tab. It was trying to use the proxy instead of a direct connection.
