What are the ways in which filezilla can check attacks from the errors handled on SSL/TLS secured data transfers.

An attacker could send spoofed FIN packets to the client. Even though GnuTLS (The GNU Transport Layer Security Library) detects this with GNUTLS_E_UNEXPECTED_PACKET_LENGTH, FileZilla did not record a transfer failure in all cases.

Unfortunately not all servers perform an orderly SSL/TLS shutdown. Since this cannot be distinguished from an attack, FileZilla will not be able to download listings or files from such servers.
