I set up CoreFTP on W2003 server, and made a self-signed certificate. I am using CoreFTP LE client from Win7 PC. Everything worked fine for an hour or so, then i started getting "security handshake failed" errors. I tried evrything but could not get connected again. I tore down and even reinstalled the CoreFTP server and recreated the domain and the user. I chose my cert and again tried to connect. Now I get connected for a few seconds then it gives me error

FTP connection error - The current connection has timeout
Can't establish connection --> 192.168.1.105:22 @ Wed Jun 29 15:08:43 2011 (10038-1460)

There are no firewalls on the server or the client workstation. I have the server and client set to port 22.

Everything looks correct to me, please advise!

TIA
-Scott

I have once again reinstalled CoreFTP server, and this time deleted all the self signed certificates from the cert store and started from scratch. Now when I attempt to connect, the error I get states "SFTP subsystem on server is unavailable". Im finding lots of posts about how to fix this on *nix machines but nothing helpful for CoreFTP on Windows. Anyone?

You shouldn't get that error with Core FTP Server, you may be connecting to the wrong server (IP or address)...
