I have tried FileZilla Server and Core FTP, but can not get either of them to work with FreeFileSync. The both work with Filezilla so I do not know what needs to be done. Please help.

FreeFileSync currently supports SFTP only, so this might be the problem.

It would be great to see support for FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) to work with FileZilla Server.

I can use Filezilla to reach a server and TLS security is there, but the Comodo certificate seems to be a problem for Filezilla and it asks me to confirm I want it to use this certificate.

Using the same credentials as I do in Filezilla, I try to use FFS to connect. After some delay, I get error messages.

Failed to connect to SFTP server "ftp.zzzzzzz.com".
Error Code LIBSSH2_ERROR_TIMEOUT: Failed getting banner (libssh2_session_handshake)

and / or

Error Code 10060: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (WSAConnectByName)

Is my issue the Comodo certificate? or something else?
