ftp server problems

[tkole]

I just recently installed a new 25xtreme'd drive in my dsr6000, upgraded to 3.1 with Kraven's upgrade and then fiexd the rc.remote-login file to look for the right directory for the ftp server. I have been trying to use WSftp to connect to my TiVo but every time I try I get the following messages:

Connecting to 192.168.0.5:21
Connected to 192.168.0.5:21 in 0.010, Waiting for Server Response
Connection closed by remote host.

I can telnet to my TiVo with no problems so it has to be something with the ftp server, right???

I'm not sure about WSFtp, but most people here have had really good luck with SmartFTP. Its free, and supports FXP, which you'll need if you want tivo -> tivo transfers.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the Smart FTP but I get the same result. It has to be a configuration thing, but I can't seem to find it.

WSFtp has some issues with the ftp daemon on the Tivo. You can try changing the host type in the configuration options, that might help. Auto doesn't work too well.

No, I checked, it's running. I tried issuing a kill command and then restarting it but I get the same result. Netstat tells me the following info:

/# netstat -a | grep LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:telnet *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN
unix 1 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 270 /tmp/S_EventSwitcherSoc
ket95
unix 1 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 192 /var/dev/log
unix 1 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 510 /var/tmp/SerialPortArbi
trator

So it seems like it is listening. I don't get it.

I tried Smart FTP and got the same results. Can anyone post their ftp client settings from either WS FTP or Smart FTP? I'd really appreciate it.
