Question

Getting

Timed out trying to read data from the socket stream!

when connecting to FTP using FluentFTP.

Below is the sourc

Answer 1

In FileZilla, you are connecting to implicit FTPS port 990.

If you also use this port in C#, you cannot use FtpEncryptionMode.Explicit.

Use FtpEncryptionMode.Implicit.

Though you better connect to port 21 and keep using FtpEncryptionMode.Explicit, if that port is available.

Answer 2

The following code is all you need to get FluentFtp (at least nuget (1.0.5824.34026) to use secure connection .

        FtpClient fclient = new FtpClient(hostname, username, password); // or set Host & Credentials

        fclient.EncryptionMode = FtpEncryptionMode.Implicit;  
        fclient.SslProtocols = SslProtocols.Tls12;

        //client.Port = 990;  // Not required - probably gives you exceptions if you try to set it. 

        fclient.Connect();
        fclient.UploadFile(@"C:\tmp\a.txt", "big.txt");
