Couldn't complete the deletion of files on a remote server

Post by unreal »

Hello.
Could you please help with this one?

ERR 2022-08-08 07:21:23 Couldn't complete the deletion of files on a remote server: Non-anonymous sessions must use encryption. (code=530)

I have read related posts about remote files deletion, but do not see any solution there.
I made configuration changes from FAQ to my vsftpd server, as described here:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1077
Still no luck.

May be you have a new solution for it? I afraid this happens not only with vsftpd server, because:
"Non-anonymous sessions must use encryption"
Seems Reflector uses non encrypted connection to delete files.

vsftpd 3.0.3-35.el8.
cobian reflector 1.0.0.

Thank you in advance.

Do you mean I need to setup unsecured connection and try to run task?

No, you shouldn't. I have seen another thread with a similar problem. Will take a look at that.

Hello )
Thank you very much for update! I've updated program and errors disappeared. But... honestly I don't understand now is this right or wrong: there are still old backup files on remote ftp server and they are not deleted more than 3 days (backup was created more than 3 times already). Should Cobian Reflector delete files on remote server or from local mirror/temp folders only?

If the task is a mirror, then it doesn't work with remote destinations or sources.
