FTP Error on Sa 3.0

[antonio2025]

Hi,

Any help would be appreciated.

I have successfully installed a turbonet card and makeing dailing calls, telnet running, and tivoweb.

however when I attempt ftp the session states the following
C:\>ftp 192.168.1.103
Connected to 192.168.1.103.

Then nothing. The error logs states the following
tivoftpd: error initializing FTP listener; error binding address; Address already in use

any thoughts????
Thanks

Check using ps to see if only one copy of the tivoftpd is running.

or, inspect your rc.sysinit, and rc.sysinit.author to make sure you are not starting the tivoftpd twice. This is somewhat of a wild guess, but it is easy to check.

Try stopping and restarting tivotfpd. The tivoftpd seems to hang quite often, I belive this is why Zirak wrote a TCS module to be able to stop and start tcs using your remote.

To do this type (from a telnet session) "ps ax | grep ftp"

You should get something like this:

547 ? SW 0:00 (tivoftpd)
1005 ? SW 0:00 grep ftp

You would then type "kill -9 547" (or one of you Linux gurus might not the correct option for the kill command) or whatever process number shows up when you run the ps command.

I'm having the same exact issue. I have tried stopping and starting tivoftpd numerous times with no help.

I have followed all the how-to's, checked the boards, etc and can't find anything to help me.

Also, since running tivoflash, I lost my ls command. I found out I can use tivosh, but I can't use any switches (-l, et. al). I'm assuming I wiped out the commands for the bash shell when I ran the flash. Is there any way of getting back the old shell commands?

I figured it out...damn XP Command Line FTP. Server 2003 CMD line FTP works fine though.

I also found the ls command, etc and added the path to my rc.sysinit file.

All is good so far
