Files are shown as shortcuts in Filezilla 3.5.2

[Aminah]

In my computer I have Filezilla 3.5.2 installed and it was working fine but suddenly it has started giving me problems. Now whenever I connect to the server from the Filezilla at that time it shows all the files as shortcuts. After that when I try to open that file at that time it says unable to receive directories. Please tell me what should I do to solve this problem?

You have to open Filezilla in your computer and after that you have to check all the setting and if you find anything wrong with the setting then correct it. If all the settings are OK and after that also you are facing this problem then I think there might be issue with the server.

As far as I know Filezilla uses a MLSD command and problem has occurred because MLSD command has a bug in the server. Normally other FTP programs use different command. You can try to fix this problem by reinstalling filezilla client.

I have gone though the problem which you are facing with the Filezilla client. I have tried to search the solution on the internet regarding this problem and I have come to know that many users has solved this problem by installing FileZilla Client 3.5.3. I think you should also download the FileZilla Client 3.5.3 and after that install that in your computer and after installing that in your computer you have to check whether you are getting same problem or not.

If you want to download FileZilla Client 3.5.3 from internet then you have to visit official site of the Filezilla and after that you will get download option there for FileZilla Client 3.5.3. I hope after installing FileZilla Client 3.5.3 in your computer your problem will get solved.
