FileZilla Server does not list directories when access the server using FileZilla Client


Recommended Posts

I've setup filezilla server on a machine on a local network, and setup filezilla client on another machine on the same local network.

I can access the filezilla server side from the filezilla client side using the computer name and logged in as fine with no issues at all.

My problem is that I can not find any directory listed in my filezilla client side while I did added and shared directories and other settings.

I've goggled a lot before posting and tried several troubleshooting like using the same port in both sides filezilla sever and client, and also tried using passive and the other modes and some others tips but no way to list the shared directories.

Please if you may help that would be cool.

This is the log of the filezilla client.

Have you added any users to the server, before trying to connect with the client?

Yes I did added a user and a group as well and added the user to the group, then added the shared folders to the user.

- when i add the root of the drive c, i can see the whole drive c listed on the client.

- when i add a shared folder from drive C or drive D I can not see anything listed in the client.

also any added shared folder has full access and all check boxes are checked in the settings of the shared folders.

I hope you may help.

views can be bots, so do go by those.

What permissions have you set on the folder for the user account, this is really bing bang zoom what account are you using to access them. A windows account?

What do you have set for the users Home dir? What are your windows permissions on this folder?

Filezilla is rather finicky sometimes. When you grant access to shared folders, are you using the actual folder though? A lot of times shared folders are actually shortcuts and such. When I set up my server, I was able to get it working with the root directory of a hard drive but to get another folder to show up, I had to create an alias.

Thanks for the bot info.

I've checked all boxes.

No I created ftp account and access it from filezilla client to filezilla server.

Yes I set the home directory.

Please how you can do the alias correctly because each time I double click the empty space under the alias in the shared folder window I can not and it reporting an error and asking for the full virtual path.

There is a folder in drive C: and another folder n drive D:

These are the two drives I need to access from the client to server.

please may you tell me more about this alias?

I would suggest you get access to 1 folder working before you try setting up other folders, etc.

 

Its not really that hard.. Here I just gave my ftp user access to c:\2ndfolder with alias

 

Create a dir, example c:\ftpuser, then you can create aliases to anything you want them to have access to

In case there is a one folder on a hard drive ( c ) titled ftp-user-c and another folder on the other hard drive ( d ) titled ftp-user-d

please may you tell me the right and recommended aliases for each one of them?

what is the users home folder? c:\ftp-user-c ?

So for example mine user home folder is c:\ftpuser, I have create a directory on f called f:\ftp-user-f, I don't have a D in the system running ftp server

So here is the alias

post-14624-0-41071600-1405003852.png

So you add the folder f:\ftp-user-f in my case, and then right click and create an alias that puts in the home folder c:\ftpuser\foldername - so used its actual foldername call ftp-user-f

Does that explain it to you?

You need to add the folders you want the user have access too. Then you can create aliases to put them in folders under its home dir.

This is a few seconds video for what I did understand.

I am still have the same question: why not all folders I added to shared folders are shown as it should?

Thanks

added to the shared folder where?

You have a Home dir of say c:\ftpuser

and actually under that folder c:\ftpuser\subfolder - like in my screenshot, your saying your not seeing subfolder? Do you have the permission set to show subfolders on the home dir? Or are you talking aliases ?

What are the ntfs permissions of the older structure?

edit: Ok don't have to watch the whole thing to see what your doing wrong. When you first connect and your home dire is new directory you are IN THAT directory when you connect that is your / "root" folder.

And your doing your aliases wrong if you want to see them. And I would highly suggest you get rid of spaces in your folder names to use via ftp server. Its a really bad habit.. its ok locally, but when it comes to shares and stuff spaces cause problems.

I thought I clearly explained this.. And showed a picture

your homme is c:\home

when you connect you will just see / -- anything in c:\home you should see - put some files and sub folders in there.

now if you want to also give access to d:\somefolder then add that. Then create alias like this c:\home\somefolder

This places d:\somefolder as a folder called somefolder under c:\home when you connect via ftp.

you could also add an alias like this your added folder is d:\somefolder, you could create an alias called c:\home\newname

now when you connect you will see / and under that a folder called newname that shows the folder structure of d:\somefolder.

    • Microsoft Defender XDR gets TITAN-powered Security Copilot recommendations by Paul Hill Guided Response, a Copilot-powered capability in Microsoft Defender XDR that guides analysts through step-by-step investigation and response flows, is getting a big upgrade with the introduction of TITAN recommendations. With TITAN, Microsoft wants to give security analysts real-time, threat-intel-driven recommendations so they can better prepare against attacks, before they even happen. TITAN is an adaptive threat intelligence graph that uses data from first and third-party telemetry and employs guilt-by-association techniques to warn analysts about unknown IP addresses that could pose a threat, due to their association with known malicious addresses. The primary benefit of TITAN is that security analysts get faster warnings about potential threats before they even have a chance to cause a problem. TITAN is an enhancement of Security Copilot Guided Response, rather than a replacement to it. With this extra tool, security analysts will be able to better keep up with evolving threats. Understanding TITAN's AI-powered threat intelligence The Redmond giant said that TITAN “represents a new wave of innovation” built upon its threat intelligence capabilities that introduces a real-time, adaptive threat intelligence graph. It takes telemetry from first and third-party sources such as Microsoft Defender for Threat Intelligence, Microsoft Defender for Experts, and customer feedback. The graph uses guilt-by-association techniques to mark unknown devices as threats, if they’re associated with known malicious entities. This gives security analysts a window of opportunity to take action and prevent harm. To identify potential threats, Microsoft uses a semi-supervised label propagation technique that assigns reputation scores to nodes based on the score of their neighbors. These reputation scores allow Microsoft’s unified security operation platform to implement containment and remediation actions via attack disruption. Practical impact and future outlook The new TITAN suggestion now appears within Guided Response as triage and containment recommendations. When a suspicious IP is detected, a Guided Response recommendation is automatically generated. These can help security analysts deal with various threats including IP addresses, IP ranges, and email senders. Microsoft said in early testing its TITAN recommendations have shown good results. TITAN boosted Guided Response triage accuracy by 8%, it reduced the time needed to investigate and respond to incidents, and its explainable recommendations gave analysts more confidence in the actions they take. As threats become more sophisticated, Microsoft’s TITAN will help to tackle threats before they even become an issue.

    • You totally missed what I was saying. Yes, the DHCP server software is largely unchanged since the Windows 2000 Server version. My statement was somewhat of a joke, but I was saying that *IF* the DHCP server was written using today's Windows 11 *ERA* design philosophy, it would be a mess. Yes, even on the latest version of Windows Server it still uses the old software, but that wasn't really the point.
    • Yeah no, they are nowhere at this same level. Whatsapp did survive a lot of time being "free" it is just meta/facebook wanting more money.
