This update rewarded me with the FileZilla failed to retrieve directory listing error. So, I updated my FileZilla to the new version 3.10.0.1.

I love updates! I love to know that I’m up to date with everything especially applications running in my computer. In my own case, FileZilla was working fine like a charm until I decided to go new. Good news right? Well not so good as you may have encountered issues with the new “FileZilla Bug Version” as I called it. See update in the second section below.īack in Janu– FileZilla Client 3.10.0.1 was released. You can still use version 3.10.0.1 and above if you’re still having the “FileZilla failed to retrieve directory listing” error. This post was updated with steps you can follow to fix the error other than just downgrading FileZilla. Drop me a line if you have questions.Įdit: updated FileZilla Binary to 3.2.FileZilla failed to retrieve directory listing – connection error.

I know the Intel part works cause I've been using it for a couple days. I don't have access to a PowerPC Mac, so I hope the binary works there. So I have decided to provide unofficial Mac Tiger FileZilla binaries. In other words, software shouldn't need to be compiled. However, Mac people, by and large, are more like Windows people than like Unix people. So I decided to share my knowledge on the FileZilla wiki. Even on the forums, it was clear that several people had trouble building FileZilla on mac. There are several dependencies that FileZilla needs, and even when you have them, it's a bit confusing as to how to build them. Being somewhat versed in software development, I decided to do just that. Since it's open source, you can always build it yourself. The author simply doesn't have access to a build environment that he can use to create binaries for Mac Tiger. In other words, needing Leopard (and not being able to use Tiger) is roughly the same as needing Windows Vista (and not being able to use Windows XP). For the purposes of this analogy, we'll equate Tiger (10.4) with Windows XP. Most but not all modern programs will still run on Panther. The difference between Leopard (10.5) and Panther (10.3) is comparable to the difference between Windows Vista and Windows 2000. Every couple years, Apple releases a new version of OS X. I couldn't believe they didn't have a binary for Tiger.įor those of you not familiar with macs, let me break it down a little. To my surprise, the official builds claim you need OS X 10.5 (Leopard), the most recent OS X release. I switched over to using FileZilla a few years ago and it's been great.Ī few days ago however, I decided to install it on a Mac. I'm sure many people are aware of FileZilla, the open source (S)FTP client.
