Fix: Cannot establish FTP connection to an SFTP server
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
### Problem ###
|
|
|
|
The other day I had to connect to my web server. I use [FileZilla][1] for connecting to FTP servers. When I entered the hostname and password and tried to connect to the FTP server, it gave me the following error:
|
|
|
|
> Error: Cannot establish FTP connection to an SFTP server. Please select proper protocol.
|
|
>
|
|
> Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Reason ###
|
|
|
|
By reading the error message itself made me realize my mistake. I was trying to establish an [FTP][2] connection with an [SFTP][3] server. Clearly, I was not using the correct protocol (which should have been SFTP and not FTP).
|
|
|
|
As you can see in the picture above, FileZilla defaults to FTP protocol.
|
|
|
|
### Solution for “Cannot establish FTP connection to an SFTP server” ###
|
|
|
|
Solution is simple. Use SFTP protocol instead of FTP. The one problem you might face is to know how to change the protocol to SFTP. This is where I am going to help you.
|
|
|
|
In FileZilla menu, go to **File->Site Manager**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the Site Manager, go in General tab and select SFTP in Protocol. Also fill in the host server, port number, user password etc.

I hope you can handle things from here onward.
