That error comes from the SSL handshake where the client and server tries to negotiate on what cipher suite (basically encryption and hashing algorithms) and finding that they have none in common. Anyways, it's a very weird error to get as the JVM usually contains a huge list of allowed suites, and FileZilla should support many of them. However, I think the certificates also can limit what suite are allowed, could you maybe check that? I'm assuming you have not provided a list of allowed cipher suites in your FtpServer configuration? /niklas
