Problem with SSL in vista

yabbah · 06-28-2007, 06:35 AM

Hi all, i've got problem when connecting to a SSL-site with ffxp. I got this error:

Code:

[13:32:49] [L] Connecting to -:[ xxx ]:- -> DNS=xxx.xxx.xxx IP=xxx.xx.xxx.xx PORT=xxxx
[13:32:49] [L] Connected to -:[ xxx ]:-
[13:32:49] [L] 220 DrFTPD 2.0.5-STABLE http://drftpd.org
[13:32:49] [L] AUTH SSL
[13:32:49] [L] 234 AUTH SSL successful
[13:32:49] [L] Connected. Negotiating SSL session..
[13:32:51] [L] error:140773E8:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:reason(1000)
[13:32:51] [L] Failed SSL negotiation, disconnected
[13:32:51] [L] Connection failed (Connection closed by client)
[13:32:51] [L] Delaying for 10 seconds before reconnect attempt #1

After those 10 seconds for the 2nd attempt, it got connected and everything work as i should. And this error become in vista only, xp works fine (use it before with same install). I use ffxp 3.4.1 build 1160.

Kinds regards

Which version of the OpenSSL DLLs are you using? The latest is OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007

mg8980 · 07-16-2007, 03:04 PM

I'm using version 0.9.8.5.

where can i get a newer version of these files?

I'm searching on www.openssl.org for these files but nothing found.

It was supposed to be in our customer portal but I just looked and it's still not there. I'll make sure it gets added ASAP. In the meantime you could contact support via the contact form

Seome · 07-19-2007, 03:26 PM

Posted updated 0.9.8e OpenSSL dll's to the Customer Portal download page. Send a Contact Form message to support if there is a problem.

Thanks for uploading this files.

But there is no change. Problem is still actual.

same problem since the lasted version 3.4-5*

This erratic behavior seems to effect other ftp clients that use OpenSSL under Windows Vista when connecting to DrFTPD as well. I spent many hours trying to come up with a solution but was unable to. The problem would appear to be outside of the scope of FlashFXP.

mhphss · 02-12-2008, 01:15 PM

I've not came across this issue, But please try to do the following:
1. Please try to right-click the FlashFXP icon and select Run as Administrator.
If the above won't resolve the problem, Please try to right-click the FlashFXP executable file (FlashFXP.exe) and select properties.
From there, Please go to Compatibility tab and select XP SP2 from the list.
Again, I'm not sure whether any of this will help, But it worth a try.

There seem to be a number of SSL related oddities between flashfxp and drftpd (and probably other clients), it is worth noting that the 2.0 branches of drftpd do not use an openssl inplementation at all, so this issue may infact arise from java itself or the ssl libraries used (or in combination with each other).

Generally the only time i experience negotiation failures during connection is when my personal internet connection is under fairly heavy use (such as using full or close-to-full upstream bandwidth), i have always thought that this may be related to the time (lag) taken for the negotiation to finalize being too long, but thats nothing more than a guess really.

For those willing, you may try testing the new 2.1 branch (non-stable) of drftpd to see if the ssl lib changes effect this issue.

i really hope someone will come up with a solution for this problem. it's really annoying!

bigstar · 02-28-2008, 10:52 PM

I do agree this is very annoying. Even more so that the problem is outside of the scope of FlashFXP, either specifically in the OpenSSL dlls in an area that can't be touched or with the way Windows Vista interacts with OpenSSL.

The oddity in the mix is that this behavior is only observed with DrFTPD servers.

ndndy · 02-29-2008, 05:59 AM

yes, seems like I get the exact same error when trying with other ftp-clients aswell, and only on drftpd servers.
but I've noticed that when you connect to (for example) a glftpd server the SSL-handshaking takes quite long time the first time you're connecting, but the second time it's way faster.
