VSFTPD with MultiCommander
« on: November 06, 2016, 17:42:44 »
I am using VSFTPD with my VPS using passive mode. It works fine with other clients like FZ and WinScp.
It connects with MC but it takes about 60 seconds or more before it lists a directory and throws a bunch of errors before it does. Even after successful fails to upload files.
I was wondering if you have any tips on configuring the server to work properly with your client. It is FTPS with TLS using a self-signed certificate.
Firewall is iptables using conntrack to open the data ports. The other FTP clients work fine so I don't expect it to be a firewall problem.

Log shown trying to get a directory listing after a successful login. Sometimes it's more than once before it connects.

2016-11-06 11:22:26 < 227 Entering Passive Mode (173,214,171,232,196,2).
2016-11-06 11:22:26 > LIST

2016-11-06 11:22:26 < 150 Here comes the directory listing.
2016-11-06 11:22:56 = Error reading secure data from the server. (Error : 10060) A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
2016-11-06 11:23:26 < 226 Directory send OK.
2016-11-06 11:28:26 = Connection Lost

On upload I get messages like this:

2016-11-06 11:41:45 = This problem is often because of firewall configuration issue.
2016-11-06 11:42:00 < 425 Failed to establish connection.

I can't say why it does not work for you..
But the error "Error finding certificate chain"  sounds like a certificate error. That It can't validate the certificate.
MC is using Windows for TLS/SSL and Certificates. Might be that the certificate is using some algoritm not supported by Windows by default. Some algoritms are disabled in Windows by defaults.
