Getting FTP working

Legacy Open AT
1

I have a Fastrack Supreme.
My LUA interactive shell is working - I can print “Hello world” etc.
when I try to a “l filename.lua” the response is:

my initial status reporting is:
[size=85]

[/size]
I’ve tried a few ftp servers e.g. WFTPD but can’t get past this point - What am I doing wrong?
(sorry - I assume this is basic error but it might help others…)

Check DOWNLOAD_CONFIG settings. For FTP:

$ =DOWNLOAD_CONFIG
= {
  host = "192.168.1.100",
  port = 21,
  protocol = "ftp",
  user = "uuuu",
  password = "pppp",
  passive = true }
$

After change do not forget to: $save(‘DOWNLOAD_CONFIG’).

Hi thanks for your quick response - I have tried what you suggested with no result.
to summarise:
originally my download settings were:

$ =DOWNLOAD_CONFIG
= {
  host = "192.168.192.5",
  port = 8765,
  protocol = "http" }

using the supplied Java http server (nanohttpd.jar) the rsponse to l “filename.lua” was

I then changed to ftp so my download settings are now

$ DOWNLOAD_CONFIG
= {
  host = "192.168.192.5",
  port = 21,
  protocol = "ftp",
  user = "uuuu",
  password = "pppp",
  passive = true }

using WFTPD with the above user / pw and also tried anon user the response is:

there are no items in my ftp server log.
the IP address of my PC is 192.168.192.5
Have you any more suggestions?

Some hints:

  1. Do you have Internet plugin enabled (AT+WCFM)?
  2. Maybe you have other bearers also active (GPRS, ETHER)? Close them to simplify routing.
  3. Do you have port 21 open on PC?
  4. Is your FTP server actually listenening on port 21?
  5. I do not know how verbose is your FTP server’s log.
  6. Make use of Wireshark.

Thanks for your help
the internet plug-in wasn’t enabled :imp: - I contacted my distributer and obtained the password.

Wavecom, please improve your documentation - especially your hardware setup to run something that should be easy i.e. the TUTORIALS!
I have wasted hours on something that I had no chance of finding a solution without the help of the forums.

Yes - this has already been posted: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3922

See also: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3766&p=16687#p16687

The documentation continues to be Wavecom’s Achilles Heel… :angry:

I think there is also a weakness with the distributors not being sufficiently proactive in ensuring that their customers are getting the right product (including Commercial Features) for their requirements…
