[HOW TO] Cannot establish FTP connection to an SFTP server. Please select proper protocol.

                1 comment   
Hello,

2 hours ago, I got the notification when I try to connect to my sftp server on FileZilla (software ftp client)

Status:    Connecting to x.x.x.x:4444...
Status:    Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:    SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3
Error:    Cannot establish FTP connection to an SFTP server. Please select proper protocol.
Error:    Critical error: Could not connect to server

A few second, I confused what is it?

And this is a cause:
I did not choose the type of protocol is SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol in FileZille setting for host.

You can do follows:
1. On FileZilla windows, click File/ Site Manager ...
2. On the left windows, click your host. Next, on the right windows, in General tab, you need to select SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol.
3. You have done.

Hope this help for you!

Thank you for reading this article, please a comment if you are interested.
