InactiveI’ve just set back up my Aura 2TB after not using it for a while.
I’ve been trying to FTP into the box from my Windows 10 laptop using WinSCP but I keep getting the following error:
“No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.Connection failed”.
I’ve also tried connecting with PuTTy but getting a similar error message.
All the settings appear to be correct & the Aura is all setup to accept FTP so not sure what is going wrong. When I had the box setup previously it connected without any issues.
Has something changed in the firmware recently that I am not aware of?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

What protocol are you using in WinSCP? I think the default is SFTP which won’t work, you need FTP. If that isn’t the problem then tell us what settings you are using please. Personally I use Filezilla with the following settings:
Protocol: FTP – file transfer protocol
Host: the IP address of the Aura
Port: 2323
Encryption: Only use plain FTP
Logon type: Normal:
user: aura
Password : box pin default 0000

InactiveI notice that you have a Pi Hole, which caused a problem with FTP, see:

Well spotted.

InactivePi Hole was something that I tried sometime ago & no longer use as it seemed to create more problems than it cured.
It’s just an old entry that I have just deleted.
I have just installed Filezilla & tried that & still getting the same issue.

Odd. Do you have the FTP anonymous option on? It should be off if you supply a user name.

InactiveI’m a new user of the Aura and have had this problem a few times. That’s after FTP was working. I’ve found going into settings,record & share and turning file share off then on again sometimes clears this problem.

InactiveProblem solved.
It appears that the problem was with a program called “Diversion” which is an Ad blocking program that is installed on my Asus router.
I disabled Diversion & my laptop connected to the Aura straight away.
I’ve just got to work out a way of whitelisting the Aura now so that I can leave Diversion running on the router.
Thanks for all the suggestions, it was the comment about Pi-Hole that made me think about Diversion being the issue.

Glad you found a solution. It is certainly not the first time that something unusual on the network has stopped FTP working.
