FTP Server

For [what feels like] the first time in 2 years I’ve put up some code that’s not Pyxis related.

Pretty fully functional FTP server over on fezzer: http://code.tinyclr.com/project/301/tinyclr-forum-client/

Very good. Nice presentation.
BTW is that Wouter’s NameService class?

Sure is. Left his header & namespace intact. And of course using the name service is optional.

As always, well done

Thanks Gus :smiley:

Might do an FTP client as well if anyone is interested.

Yes, please. I am sure someone will appreciate it.

Good work !

yeah i can see scenarios where i would push not pull files to Fez so client would be great too

Great extension to the NameService class. :smiley:

Really, great job!

Hi,
i have problems with ftp server… i can connect with username and password but i can not get files list, upload or download and other things from pc application (etc filezilla). only MS command line ftp client can do everything!. any idea?!

judasis

PS. it works on panda ii…

FTP will be an app on Gadgetos so I will definitely be working on this but it will have to wait until the core systems are finished. I’ll post a follow up when there is a resolution. In the mean time stick w the commandline.

When I click on the link in the original post I get this site:

correct link: http://code.tinyclr.com/project/256/netmf-ftp-server/

FIXED

uFTPServer now works with CommandLine FTP, FileZilla, and Windows Explorer FTP.

I’ve merged the Wifi adhoc example for the GHI Wifi Module and the uFTPServer example in order to be able to transfer data files on an SD card back and forth between a Wifi link.
Wifi connection works, ftp server autenticates my user name and password. Can create directories and delete them on the SD card, but cannot list files, or transfer any data… Any ideas why? Here is my main code.

And here is the debug messages. I used Filezilla ftp client on my other computer to connect via adhoc wifi.

Cannot see the SD card contents…

P.S , I alson notice a huge jump in ping reply time from the Red Pine RS9110 Wifi module after a first successful ftp connection. Before connecting , we get an average of 3-4 mS reply time, and after, it goes up to 85mS…

Any ideas?

Where can i get the latest version?
I am confused. There are 2 different links.
http://www.tinyclr.com/codeshare/entry/197
http://www.tinyclr.com/codeshare/entry/240 The title here is strange.

The first one (http://www.tinyclr.com/codeshare/entry/197) is the FTP server
The second link (http://www.tinyclr.com/codeshare/entry/240) allows you to view this forum on your NETMF device. Not sure if the current version of the forum is compatible or not; haven’t tried lately.

I see the confusion. It looks like I accidentally overwrote the forum code w/ the FTP server. Oops. If I have to forum code around somewhere I’ll re-upload it.

@ Makla - on which mainbord do you want to use the ftp-client? I have it running (with modifications) on spider with SDK 4.1 in an application to monitor the on-time of our oil-burner. If you want to use it on a spider, I could send you the code.

Yes, i want to use it on spider. For now. But when i get Cobra II it will probably be moved. Could you please send it to “novice(you_know)svetiduh.si”
Thanks.

I started the FTP server on G400D development board and used FileZilla to connect it. The following errors were returned:

Status: Connecting to 192.168.0.107:101…
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message…
Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
Status: Server does not support non-ASCII characters.
Status: Logged in
Status: Retrieving directory listing…
Command: PWD
Response: 257 the current directory is |
Error: Failed to parse returned path.
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

Any hints to fix the problem?
