Switching

I've run the command 

set system services ftp

set system services ssh

set system services telnet

set system services web-management https

{Generate a cert for https}

set system services web-management https system-generated-certificate

set system services ssh root-login allow

commit

Run request system reboot at now

I can consistently connect with putty, I can conssistently connect with chrome or IE however filezilla seems hit or miss.   Sometimes rebooting the switch helps.   Sometimes closing and reopening filezilla helps.  ANy special settings in filezilla?   I ftp to things every day from many vendors - this is the first time I've hit a glitch with filezilla.

My switches have the latest firmware and J-Web.

Hi Jimbo55,

Did you check the port number once? Try manually changing it to 21/22 based on ftp or sftp.

Also, you get to see a lot of hints as to why the connection to the specified host fails on the FileZilla screen.

Go by analyzing them one by one!

Kudos if that helps, mark "accept as solution" to help others find the answer instead of re-doing this. 🙂 

Test with winscp and check if the issue is the same.

You can also test with file copy from the switch and check if FTP has the same issues.

Thanks for whatever reason I had to switch it to 22!

Reason is that Junos only supports secure communication for transfers to Control Plane/RE, so only SFTP (port 22) and no plain FTP (port 21).  Or else scp is supported.

All FTP is disabled by default as well.

At least I believe my comment to be correct.
