FileZilla (FTP-Client) on EasyOS - FTP / TLS ?

[kris777]

I had to use FTP / TLS and there is a gFTP program in the system ... but unfortunately it does not work in the server TLS connection? although it is the latest version, gFTP 2.7.0b
Maybe there are no libraries in the system or the program itself was installed or compiled without FTPs support?
I searched the net for a working FileZilla program on PuppyLinux systems and found a working version from .deb files
Maybe someone will like it
This is an older version: FileZilla 3.46.3 ...
I wanted to update the files to the latest version but unfortunately I get the error:

Code: Select all

usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 version;glibc_2.2.5 not found

I found the latest version of FileZilla on flathub but it also didn't start..
https://flathub.org/apps/org.filezillap ... Filezilla
To add an entry for Filezilla to the menu in the internet section, we need to edit or create if there is no file named:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/applications/filezilla.desktop

Code: Select all

gFTP works if you select "SSH2"

gFTP works if you select "SSH2"

For me, unfortunately ( SSH2 ), this option does not work.
They had the program all the time and it doesn't show anything ... that is, it doesn't connect.
I don't know why... but FileZilla works fine
Ps.
after reading on the net, you may have doubts whether the option in gFTP (SSH2) is the same as FTPS (i.e. TLS for me) ... it is rather the SFTP protocol (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and this is completely different

you can read on github gFTP
Supported protocols?
FTP (ftp://)
FTPS (ftps://) (Explicit TLS - current standard for encrypted FTP)
FTPSi (ftpsi://) (Implicit TLS, default port: 990)
SSH2 SFTP (ssh2://) - requires OpenSSH client: ssh
FSP (fsp://) (UDP File Service Protocol)
SSH2 this is unfortunately not a protocol that supports TLS . The program must have the FTPS option.
Maybe it wasn't compiled with this option? Terminal says it is FTPS ...black magic

gftp --info

I think I already know. However, the gFTP program on EasyOS is outdated or other protocols, e.g. FTPS, are not compiled.
I did it on LinuxMint 21 and now it works OK with TLS...but this is the latest version : gFTP-2.1.9b

If someone wants to update gFTP to the latest version of gFTP v.2.9.1b, just replace the files in the system and the program works OK
gFTP-v.2.9.1b
MD5 -file check
ATTENTION ! regarding TLS connection:

When using the FTPS protocol, gFTP cannot connect if the remote server uses a self signed certificate.
Go to gFTP menu -> Preferences -> SSL Engine and untick Verify SSL Peer

kris777,
Thanks for letting me know.
I will checkout updating gftp.

However, FileZilla, although it is an older version, is much better than gFTP ... it works and connects to the server faster and more smoothly downloads files, additionally, it has a standard transfer retry of an unfinished large file and a visual percentage transfer preview. + Helpful option to remember passwords! Maybe it's worth implementing this FTP client?
Ps. You have successfully installed the latest version of Filezilla v.3.64.0
I downloaded from the official site : Filezilla-v.3.64.0 unpacked and copied to the system ... but maybe it will work as portable ... I just need to install two .deb files in the system
FileZilla-3.64.0-deb.tar
FileZilla-3.64.0-deb.tar.md5
but note that after installing this .deb file in EasyOS, it cannot be removed from the system! this causes the system to freeze. So this is an experimental method Filezilla works and you will probably never need to remove it from your system...but do so at your own risk. !!!
have fun

Hi, we run FileZilla 3.52.2 without one single problem: it runs perfectly.

You just have to install these packages:

- libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5_3.0.5.1+dfsg-2_amd64.deb
- libwxbase3.0-0v5_3.0.5.1+dfsg-2_amd64.deb
- libtinfo6_6.2+20201114-2_amd64.deb
- libtiff5_4.2.0-1+deb11u1_amd64.deb
- libpugixml1v5_1.11.4-1_amd64.deb
- libncurses6_6.2+20201114-2_amd64.deb
- libjbig0_2.1-3.1+b2_amd64.deb
- libfilezilla11_0.26.0-1+b1_amd64.deb
- libdeflate0_1.7-1_amd64.deb
- filezilla-common_3.52.2-3_all.deb
- filezilla_3.52.2-3_amd64.deb

You can download everything from the Debian repository. These should be the Bullseye versions (oldstable). It is likely that also the newer version works (packages for Bookworm), but we haven't tried it jet.

Hopefully gFTP will be fixed in the next release:
