Filezilla and DuetWiFi FTP

RGN01 · 4 Feb 2018, 19:55

I've enabled FTP on my Duets and am now trying to get FileZilla set up so I can backup config files and generally manage the folders remotely.

FileZilla attaches but I can't transfer files to / from the Duet - I get

[h]Error: The data connection could not be established: ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server[/h]

If you have FileZilla working, please could you share the setup on FileZilla that allows file transfers?

Thanks.

What firmware version are you running? There have been fixes and improvements with 1.20 and also the latest 1.21RC releases.

Some FTP clients send unsupported commands to the Duet, which could cause issues. I had success with Cyberduck, curl, and wget so far.

I'm running v1.20. I'll look at those three but as I use FileZilla for other purposes I'd rather use it for the Duet if I can get it work reliably.

FileZilla is the program that I test FTP with, so it should work even in older firmware versions. Which version are you using?

I'm using 3.30.0 FileZilla.

When I connect to the Duet I get:

Do you have a range of consecutive ports open in your router that is forwarded to the Duet when you run in passive mode?

Try firmware 1.21RC1.

Thanks, Captain_SQ, This is on a LAN so there should be no restrictions.

Try firmware 1.21RC1.

Thanks, David. I'm off on a business trip for the rest of this week so will try that on the weekend. I've checked the https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md page but don't see a mention of FTP changes - have there been any specific changes?
