FTPS connects but doesn't display any file lists

Answered

I was provided ftp credentials from a client, ftpes://ftp.company.com

I'm on a Mac, trying to connect using PhpStorm 2016.2.2. I was eventually able to connect using passive mode but the remote host window simply shows 'loading...', which then disappears and nothing. No errors or files displayed. Things work fine in FileZilla. There is an unknown certificate warning upon connecting in there but that's all.

Tried different advanced option combinations but the result is the same.

Hello,

Did you try to enable "Passive mode" in Advanced settings?

Yes. I was initially unable to connect at all until I tried passive mode. Once I tried that it did connect but did not list any files or folders.

Could you please restart IDE, retry a connection attempt and send us (upload anywhere) idea.log file (Help > Show log in ...)?

As you requested, this is right after connecting, the loading... message disappears, then nothing.

Could you please enable extended deployment logging, reproduce the issue again and upload the log once again as a text file here?

Sorry for wasting your time.

No apology necessary. Thank you for the effort. The new log data has been uploaded (ftp-debug-11-9-16.txt).

Is your FPT server provider using ProFTPd?  If that's true they should add the following to proftpd.conf and restart ProFTPd:

TLSOptions NoSessionReuseRequired

Yes, they are using ProFTPd and your suggestion fixed things. Files and folders are now being displayed when connected.

Thanks very much!

I have the same issue on a Pure-FTPd server,

FTP is ok

FTPS is ok on cyberduck/filezilla, but no file shown after connection in IDEA

I have the same problem, but can not change the settings on the server (shared hosting), how can I solve it in PHPStorm?

There's no fix from IDE side currently. Please vote for corresponding report: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-18980

Passive mode solved my issue either. Thank you Franc Molitierno and intellij support team.

Into phpstorm version 2018.2.1 You can enable option Reuse SSL session into Deployment -> Options -> Advanced Options.

This solution works for me.

Im just putting this out there but having to fix this on the server side is not a fix. You dont always have access to the server in order to fix the issue (shared hosting environments). Considering standalone ftp clients dont seem to show this issue the problem should be fixed in the IDE.

Toja, modifying the server configs is not required anymore since the bug was fixed: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-18980
Enabling the said checkbox should be enough.

We are experiencing the same issue on PHPStorm v192.6817.20  (latest build) on Windows 10 We've tried many different configurations but simply doesn't give out a list. The server lists out perfectly with Filezilla, NotePad++ and Beyond Compare.

Tried the Resuse SSL Session on / off but still no listing.

Please upgrade to 2019.3 EAP We have a couple of deployment issues fixed there.

If it's still the same there, please add #com.jetbrains.plugins.webDeployment to Help | Debug Log Settings, restart the IDE, try to connect again and then attach the logs bundle (Help | Compress Logs...) within a support ticket.

Thank you Eugene. This version didn't work either. Here's what our tech support sent us.

"It appears that this software does not support TLS 1.2 and as such is not able to connect securely over FTPS. The best way to do this with this software would be to enable SSH access for this cPanel and connect over SFTP." 

Hope this helps. We will send through a support ticket too

2. Advance tab: Data channel protection level: private
