Using a v6 address as destination server in fileshuttle will be accapted, but when trying to upload, there's instantly "Please check your connection". A look with tcpdump shows, that there isn't any connection try.

how are you inserting the server address - an IPv6 literal IP or a hostname that has an AAAA record?

if using a hostname does it also have an A record

Systems are available in DNS with A & AAAA records.
It tries to connect to IPv4 address but'll be blocked by pf on destination [only accepting via v6 for several client systems with static v6]

For debug I also tried AAAA only DNS record, literal IP as '2001:...' and '[2001:...]'. But there's no connection attempt.
btw - running client 2.x dev

i've just setup an HE.net tunnel and will try and debug it

are you using SFTP or FTP mode - i've not been able to reproduce so far when using a v6 only dns record via SFTP, still to test other methods

I've just done some debugging and the following works for me (note i am using a HE.net tunnel and for all intents and purposes my local machine just sees a native IPv6 address as the config is done at my router/firewall

DNS record with only an AAAA record - Works with both FTP and SFTP
DNS record with both an A and AAAA record, Works with both FTP and SFTP
DNS Record with both an A and AAAA record - blocked IPv4 access to ssh and ftp using iptables- Works with both FTP and SFTP

i suspect theres a network/config issue with your IPv6 config locally thats preventing something working here

have you verified that this works outside of FileShuttle?

Even while running in IPv6 only network, there can't be a connection established. Other clients like Dropzone 2, Dockdrop and usual SFTP clients are working with IPv6 only. Even SCP -6 works without any problems. Is there a possibility to write a fileshuttle client debug file?
