Description George Notaras 2008-09-15 10:56:07 UTC

Description of problem:

Recent versions of FileZilla do not work with vsftpd when 'FTP over explicit SSL/TLS' is used to connect to the FTP server. The client gives the following error message:

  Status:	Server did not properly shut down TLS connection
  Error:	Could not read from transfer socket: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted

According to the following pages:

  * http://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/3661
  * http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7688
  * http://vsftpd.beasts.org/

The issue is caused by the server, which does not seem to follow the standard way of closing the SSL connection.

This issue has been addressed in the 2.0.7 version of vsftpd.

Please update the package.

Affects both fedora releases 8 & 9 (and others possibly).

Comment 2 Martin Nagy 2008-09-21 23:40:46 UTC

The vsftpd package with the fix was submitted to updates-testing. I'd appreciate if you could test it and then add karma if it works for you, so that it can move to the stable repository.

Comment 3 George Notaras 2008-09-22 19:24:25 UTC

The vsftpd-2.0.5-21.fc8 release has resolved the problem and now users can normally connect to their ftp accounts using "FTPES - FTP over explicit SSL/TLS" without any error messages.

Thanks
