Ftp – Server sent passive reply with unroutable address when connecting to FTP site with FileZilla

certificateftproutingtls

I get the error "Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead." when connecting to a FTP site (not SFTP).

I have connected to this site many times, however FileZilla asked me to accept a certificate on this occasion for the first time.

It does not appear to be an issue with the account I am connecting with as it happens on all accounts on that server.

This is old question but thought it may help other. I have a similar issue and mentioned by @HBrujin I have correct pasv_address specified as well but still having similar message appearing on Filezilla.

First of all find out what IP address you are getting as PASV command by enabling debug mode in FileZilla and you may see line like below

Response:   227 Entering Passive Mode (0,0,0,0,4,7).

I was hoping my public address instead of 0.0.0.0 as I have already specified pasv_address. Later on realized that it was due to listen_ipv6=YES setting and pasv_address has IP4. Just add change configuration to

#listen_ipv6=YES
listen=YES

resolved my issue.
