Hi! I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with a "simple" FTPS setup and VSFTPD. I saw references on Google and tried, and tried, and tried... without success. I'll start by explaining my situation: I have a WEB development server behind a firewall. It's currently only for the intranet. We now have an external company that will have to do a new website for us and we want them to access securely our development server. Internally, we access it with regular FTP (we use DreamWeaver 8). In the references i saw, i'd just add the following lines and it is supposed to work: ssl_enable=YES allow_anon_ssl=NO force_local_data_ssl=NO force_local_logins_ssl=NO ssl_tlsv1=YES ssl_sslv2=YES ssl_sslv3=NO rsa_cert_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem Here are the previous lines in my vsftpd config: anonymous_enable=YES local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES xferlog_std_format=YES chroot_local_user=YES chroot_list_enable=YES chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.chroot_list pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES listen=YES tcp_wrappers=YES I generated the PEM cert with the following command: openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem -out /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.pem I tried to connect with FileZilla without luck. I heard that FileZilla may have a problem with vsftpd in FTPS mode so i downloaded SmartFTP which i read should be able to connect. When i try, i get this error message: SSL/TLS client handshake failed (Error = 0x80090308) Does anybody could give me a pointer on this? Thanks in advance and happy holidays to everybody!
