Hi all!

I am going to setup the software to upload a picture to my webserver every 10 min.

I am having trouble to get all these things working.

Here is what i have done and the outcome:

1) Setup FTP in Software
2) click on "Test Configuration"
3) Upload failed. Cannot connect to remote server
4) entered a different upload path
5) same as 3
6) typed a wrong password in
7) FTP failed. Login incorrect

So it seems that the connect is working well...

anyone got an idea?

Many thanks
Sven

More Details:

ftp connect 2 error IPTongueortX.X.X.X:58803 -> Error Ein Verbindungsversuch ist fehlgeschlagen, da die Gegenstelle nach einer bestimmten Zeitspanne nicht richtig reagiert hat, oder die hergestellte Verbindung war fehlerhaft, da der verbundene Host nicht reagiert hat X.X.X.X:58803

The strange thing is that I can connect on port 21 to X.X.X.X from the command prompt.

I configured the Software to connect to Port 21 and not to 58803

Hello Sven

ftp uses port 21 only to initiate the communication. After the initial handshake, other ports are used for data transfer.
(see Wikipedia [german][english])

The FTP server has to support Passive Mode and allow access to the ports negotiated with the client in order to work with AbelCam FTP Upload.

Maybe a debug log shows more detailed information?

I tried a different software to upload to my webspace. This software used also passive mode and it worked fine.

The strange thing is that you SW reports to cannot connect but when i enter a wrong password it tells me that the user-id / password is incorrect.
So the connect works...

yes - and then it runs into troubles when trying to transmit data.

If you want me to have a close look you need to send me the debug log.

I can connect via cmd and other tools.

I have sent the debug-stuff.

Many thanks in advance!

Hello Sven

I have looked at your log file and found nothing that would explain the problem.
The next (beta) release will contain a completely different FTP solution - hopefully this will resolve the problem.
