Bug Description
Binary package hint: vsftpd
In FileZilla ftp Client when connecting to vsftpd 2.0.6 server with explicit TLS/SSL on HardyHeron:
Status: Server did not properly shut down TLS connection
Błąd: Could not read from transfer socket: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted
On filezilla forum http://
In release notice of vsftpd-2.0.7 http://
Pleas rebuild new version of vsftpd in HardyHeron
-- SRU
1) Explanation, rationale, and everything.
This is bug is fixed in intrepid as it is fixed in vsftpd 2.0.7.
It is a problem in the SSL connection shutdown code, which doesn't follow the standard. Clients such as recent FileZilla which decided to enforce SSL connections to be properly closed (because it is otherwise a security risk) now do not work with vsftpd 2.0.6 and other broken FTP servers. That means this bug potentially affects any standard-compliant client.
The person who fixed that bug in Fedora gave me their patch, which I applied. It is basically what was changed in 2.0.7 ssl code, modulo other changes we don't want in this SRU as they are not useful for fixing this bug.
2) TEST CASE: Install vsftpd and configure it with ssl (certificate, ssl_enable=yes), try connecting to it with a recent version of FileZilla (eg. the one in intrepid) using ftpes://your_server and see it fails with a message explaining the ssl shutdown problem. Now install the proposed vsftpd package, you should be able to connect and download/upload etc.

I have the same problem, peoples can't connect to my vsftp server anymore since they upgraded to the latest version of FileZilla client.
It would be nice if you could rebuild a new version using the 2.0.7 release of vsftp.
Thank you.
