FileZilla problem

I was dismayed to discover that FileZilla no longer works on my 16.04.5. It worked fine early October, but fails to connect today.

Thinking it might be a problem with the host, I tried pftp in Amiga. Connects right away (but the files I want to move aren't on my Amiga partitions). Maybe the host had been down when I tried 16.04 earlier? Tried again, still connection failed.

Next I tried REMIX. No problem! Fortunately I can get at my 16.04 files from my REMIX 0.9, so I was able to add the necessary files to my site, but it would be more convenient if I could fix the FileZilla on the other side. Thinking perhaps to replace a program gone bad, I tried

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade FileZilla
but it said it couldn't find it. Probably a stupid thing to try?

Almost that simple.
That brought the info that I already had the newest version. So I guessed sudo apt-get uninstall filezilla. You know what that got me. Next guess, ... remove .... That worked, and then installing brought FileZilla back, and I was delighted to find I didn't need to reconfigure.

You saved me again, Christian. Thanks!
