FluentFTP - Getting error while connecting "Timed out trying to read data from the socket stream!"
Getting
Timed out trying to read data from the socket stream!
when connecting to FTP using FluentFTP.
Below is the source code which I am using to connect:
Console.WriteLine("Configuring FTP to Connect to {0}", hostname);
ftp = new FtpClient(hostname,port,new NetworkCredential(username,password));
ftp.ConnectTimeout = 600000;
ftp.ReadTimeout = 60000;
ftp.EncryptionMode = FtpEncryptionMode.Explicit;
ftp.SslProtocols = System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols.Tls;
ftp.ValidateCertificate += new FtpSslValidation(OnValidateCertificate);
ftp.Connect();
Console.WriteLine("Connected to {0}", hostname);
ftp.SetWorkingDirectory(foldername);
Console.WriteLine("Changed directory to {0}", foldername);
void OnValidateCertificate(FtpClient control, FtpSslValidationEventArgs e)
{
// add logic to test if certificate is valid here
e.Accept = true;
}
FileZilla log file for successful connectivity. I am able to connect the location via FileZilla. Snippet of log is below:

Answer
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.
