Simple FTP Question

[Jtw_124]

I monted my HDVR3 using Sleeper's ISO. Added USB/ethernet. Everything worked fine and I could telnet (TeraTerm) and FTP (SmartFTP) the portion of my TIVO with the var, tmp, bin, hack folders of the drive through both programs.

I realized that Mfs_ftp was not loaded by Sleeper's ISO, so I uploaded those into var/mfs_ftp using SmartFTP.

Now, I realize I also need to upload tserver and NowShowing.tcl in order to run Tytool, however, since uploading mfs_ftp, SmartFTP is showing my media directories (asx, bat, tmf, txt, ty, ty+, and xml) instead of my application directories (var, tmp, bin, hack, etc.)

How can I get SmartFTP to look at the other portion of the drive it was looking at before in order to upload tserver and NowShowing.tcl into the Var directory? I tried sending SmartFTP in through Port 23 (which telnet connects) rather than 3105, but it won't connect through 23 since I uploaded mfs_ftp.

You need to connect to port 21 for normal FTP transfers.

You need to connect to port 21 for normal FTP transfers.

I tried that, and ports 22 and 23 also, and they don't work. As stated, I can log in via port 3105 and see the "media" folders, but can not see the "application" folders I saw before.

This is the message I get when attempting to log in via port 21:

Resolving host name 192.168.0.5...
Connecting to (192.168.0.5) -> IP: 192.168.0.5 PORT: 21
Connected to (192.168.0.5) -> Time = 62ms
Socket connected waiting for login sequence.
Connection timeout. No response from server.
Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...

I'm attempting to login with username set to nothing or the default ("username") and with no password in both instances.

Again, this was working fine before. The only thing I can think that is preventing access is the fact that I installed mfs_tools. (I can telnet in and see the application folders via port 23 on Telnet.)

Help! Thank you.

Make sure your rc.sysinit.author is loading the ftp daemon:
#Load telnet daemon and ftp daemon
tnlited 23 /bin/bash -login &
tivoftpd

Thanks. That was in there and has always been there since loading Sleeper's ISO.

I'm not sure what I did, but its working again. I can access via port 21, again.
