I want to upload my files using FTP server FileZilla 3.7.3., but I can't seem to connect to the server. I have tried solving the problem with many experts in my lab who recently used the program to upload files on the galaxy server, but we are not able to solve the problem.

I used usergalaxy.org or ftp://usegalaxy.org as hostname, tried different ports, different computers, and passive and active mode. Strange thing is, I don't get any specific error code.

I got the following response when I try to quickconnect:

I also tried connecting via the site manager using the encryption: require explicit FTP over TLS. I now had to accept the license and get this response:

I was wondering whether there is a connection problem on your side? Otherwise do you have any suggestions what to do different? I’m at my wits end.

FTP over TLS is required, so your second attempt looks better than the first. It's failing to initiate passive mode, however. Is there a firewall that might be interfering? The FTP server will open a random port between 30000 and 31000 when PASV is issued, so your client will need to be able to connect to that port, and the communications over that port will be encrypted (some firewalls that perform packet inspection do not like this).

Here's a nice explanation on the difference between active and passive FTP, in case that might help. You can use netstat to see which port the FTP server is attempting to connect to.
