My domian name was a subdomain like xxx.yyy.com And cpanel ftp configuration guided me that ftp server is ftp.xxx.yyy.com Fillzilla was unable to connect and showed this error: Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known". This error is for dns resolving. I just removed "ftp." from ftp.xxx.yyy.com and it works now share|improve this answer answered Aug 16 '15 at 9:32 Amir Hossein Jamsidi 31543 add a comment| up vote 4 down vote It is Name resolution error. your domain name is not correct. Check for spelling mistakes or try using the IP address. You can use ping Mydomain.com in windows to find out ip address of your server. share|improve this answer answered Aug 28 '13 at 14:24 vbp 4801716 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agre

that Googling for specific errors in the stunnel log is incredibly unhelpful, resulting in a variety of mailing list posts with no replies. Tracking an error critical error: could not connect to server message through the source of the program doesn't lead to any useful comments, ssh_init: host does not exist either. So here's some SEO bait with concrete troubleshooting suggestions. I started out, as usual, with a pile

[!] Error resolving "127.0.0.1": Neither nodename nor servname known This was the biggest wat, and the hardest to track down because the solution is so obvious. "Error resolving" sounds like the machine hasn't been informed of localhost's existance, so let's check: $ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost And I can even ping 127.0.0.1 successfully. So the message and I have different ideas about what it means to "resolve" an IP. I found the fix here by diffing the stunnel.conf against that on a working machine, and learned that I'd neglected to specify the correct port number on the destination host. The solution to the "Error resolving localhost" turned out to be specifying the correct port for the other end of the stunnel: $ cat stunnel.conf pid = [9987] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:9987 cafile = ./cert.pem verify = 3 connect = 01.23.456.789:9988 Wow. Painfully obvious after you realize

panel, hit connect and was shown the following error: Status: Resolving address of XYZ Status: Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known". Error: Could not connect to server Now http://www.pauljoyceuk.com/codex/2011/ftp-connection-failure-with-eai_noname-error/ I've never even heard of an EAI related error, so this was a bit strange. I assumed the client had provided me with incorrect details, as its quite easy to do. I double checked the other FileZilla http://www.warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/132628-help-filezilla-ftp-login-connection-please.html options and everything seemed ‘normal'. To cut a long story short it turns out that EAI_NONAME basically translates in laymans terms to "Server couldn't be found". If you're connecting via IP, make sure the host resolves to it nodename nor by running "PING hostname" in a Microsoft Windows command prompt for example, or using an online free service. If you're connecting via a server hostname, make sure it contains no spelling mistakes or extra spaces. If you get this error message don't worry about changing default file paths, username or passwords to experiment. The FTP program can't find the server, so can't even get to checking those details.
