After the connection is established, I get a failure that says:
534 Fallback to [C]
Failed to switch to encrypted data channel!
What would cause this? The connection works fine with regular FTP, but when I add the secure FTP into the picture it fails. GoDaddy supports only the explicit secure FTP connection and they are telling me: "You may want to try using FileZilla or another program where the supported connection type has been tested and is known to work."
I just bought WS_FTP Home because I really liked the interface, I'd rather figure out how to make this work! I don't doubt I've got a configuration error on my end, but since I'm pretty new to this SSL stuff, I don't know where to start. GoDaddy has a FAQ that states:
Yes. FTP over SSL (FTPS) allows for the secure uploading of content and comes in two versions: implicit and explicit. Our Linux shared hosting accounts support explicit FTPS. Explicit FTPS can be utilized with any FTP client supporting AUTH TLS (explicit) functionality. Below is a partial list of such FTP client applications:
SmartFTP
CuteFTP 7.1 Pro
FileZilla
Client application settings may require modification to enable FTP over SSL. Please see your application's documentation for details.
FTP clients that do not support AUTH TLS (explicit) functionality include WS_FTP.
Someone from WS_FTP team might want to work with GoDaddy to get this working (which I expect it would if I had my stuff setup properly!!) and get this product slap out of their FAQs. I should add that this FAQ entry was updated earlier in May.
TIA, Karen
