FileZilla stuck at Initializing TLS
I am having an issue with FileZilla. I try to establish an FTP connection with my server but end up stuck at the same initial message after trying quite a few rounds. I am able to use the same host, username, password and port to login using Chrome browser but not for FileZilla. Any idea?

Had this problem also, just go to file ->site manager. On the encryption drop down change to "use only Plain FTP (insecure). And that's it!

This is a horrible suggestion. The author's FTP server clearly supports encrypted connection, so they should be used, not using encrpted conenctions when they are supported is a bad idea

This is actually a known issue on certain shared hosting (like HostGator). It will act as if TLS is working (because they sort of have it setup, IIRC), but it doesn't work properly, hence Filezilla can't use it, but fails without a truly helpful prompt. Therefore, you have to follow this advice to use Filezilla, or connect via HostGator's web interface.

I faced the same issue many times, and when the hosting provider and filezilla forums couldn't help, i myself tried digging it deeper to figure out the exact problem. Putting it altogether for you all..
There are mainly two scenarios under which you can face this issue..
First: Server you are trying to access doesn't support connection over TLS.
Second: You ISP doesn't allow to initialize TLS on FTP.
But since now most of the standard hosting providers do support FTP over TLS, so the issue is mainly due to ISP, Especially mobile operators disallow this sought of connection, so people using mobile hotspots are more likely to face this problem. Like in India half of the mobile operators doesn't allow FTP over TLS. Just switch the data SIM or the ISP and try again.

Yes @McDonald's i am serious, 90% of filezilla TLS blocked issues reported by my clients got resolved by switching the ISP. In India most of the people prefer using Mobile hotspots as their internet source, as high speed 4G data plans are very cheap here. Its because of such plans India has emerged as the most data consuming country of world 2017.. check stats internetworldstats.com/top20.htm

I had the same issue. I was using mobile hotspot to connect my laptop to the Jio 4G provided internet. I have openSUSE 42.2 installed on my laptop.
I disconnected, then checked "Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete" checkbox in the network adapter settings, and reconnected; and then tried again connecting with FileZilla and it worked.
I don't know if the networking system of laptop was connecting only using IPv6 and the server or FileZilla was expecting IPv4 address of my laptop OR there was some other issue!

Had this problem when the server I used changed user, password and host. Finally found out for me after program stopped at TLS.
- Uninstall FileZilla
- reboot
- Delete these directories:
C:UsersyourusernameAppDataRoamingFileZilla
C:UsersyourusernameAppDataLocalFileZilla - reinstall FileZilla
Enter your details in site manager using your old correct settings. I'm using passive mode.

This is probably different. With "234 AUTH TLS OK." the server clearly indicates that it supports TLS but the TLS handshake hangs.

Dang, I missed that part. My bad. The other thing you can check is whether you have the hostname specified correctly. If the SSL certificate name is 'foo.example.com', but you're trying to connect to 'bar.example.com', this can also cause the connection not to work - although I don't remember whether the connection fails outright, or if it hangs. But either way, connecting via IP address gets around that issue.

If the hostname is wrong than certificate validation should fail, that is no hang. If in this case the connection with IP only succeeds than I would not trust this FTP client because this usually means that no proper certificate validation is done at all.

Have you tried connecting with any other FTP clients? Have you tried connecting without encryption?

I faced the same issue many times, and when the hosting provider and filezilla forums couldn't help, i myself tried digging it deeper to figure out the exact problem. Putting it altogether for you all..
There are mainly two scenarios under which you can face this issue..
First: Server you are trying to access doesn't support connection over TLS.
Second: You ISP doesn't allow to initialize TLS on FTP.
But since now most of the standard hosting providers do support FTP over TLS, so the issue is mainly due to ISP, Especially mobile operators disallow this sought of connection, so people using mobile hotspots are more likely to face this problem. Like in India half of the mobile operators doesn't allow FTP over TLS. Just switch the data SIM or the ISP and try again.

Yes @McDonald's i am serious, 90% of filezilla TLS blocked issues reported by my clients got resolved by switching the ISP. In India most of the people prefer using Mobile hotspots as their internet source, as high speed 4G data plans are very cheap here. Its because of such plans India has emerged as the most data consuming country of world 2017.. check stats internetworldstats.com/top20.htm

I had the same issue. I was using mobile hotspot to connect my laptop to the Jio 4G provided internet. I have openSUSE 42.2 installed on my laptop.
I disconnected, then checked "Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete" checkbox in the network adapter settings, and reconnected; and then tried again connecting with FileZilla and it worked.
I don't know if the networking system of laptop was connecting only using IPv6 and the server or FileZilla was expecting IPv4 address of my laptop OR there was some other issue!

Had this problem when the server I used changed user, password and host. Finally found out for me after program stopped at TLS.
- Uninstall FileZilla
- reboot
- Delete these directories:
C:UsersyourusernameAppDataRoamingFileZilla
C:UsersyourusernameAppDataLocalFileZilla - reinstall FileZilla
Enter your details in site manager using your old correct settings. I'm using passive mode.
