I have an FTP server that uses IIS 7.5, running on a Windows Server 2008 machine. When I try to connect to this server using filezilla with implicit TLS (ftps://), I always recieve this error:

GnuTLS error -15: An unexpected TLS packet was received.

The server connects fine when I don't use TLS (ftp://) or with explicit TLS (ftpes://) so I believe it is not a SSL issue.

Am I missing a configuration here?

Update: I was trying to connect to ftps using port 2122.

Ensure that you have a binding for port 990, as that is the implicit FTPS port. Without that binding your site in IIS will not support implicit FTPS.

  • By binding, do you mean to open port 990 in firewalls?

  • @SyakurRahman No, I mean a binding on the FTP site in IIS. Sites (web or FTP) in IIS operate based on bindings, a combination of IP, port, protocol, and sometimes host header name that define which sites answer to which requests.

  • @SyakurRahman Here's an example of a port 21 binding: 4.bp.blogspot.com/-gByQR4TlBfw/UGs3h7yRuaI/AAAAAAAAMNY/…

  • Okay, it did worked :). The previous test I did was using a custom port which is 2122. I already have a binding to that port, is there something else I need to configure so I could use port 2122 with ftps?

    You can use port 2122 with explicit FTPS assuming you connect to that port on your client. Implicit FTPS can only be used with port 990.
