Help with ftp

[jhn431]

I created an ftp server on my android tablet. Directory Opus times out using passive mode. The ftp server log says WARN Ignoring parms: -alF to satify clients with incorrect FTP LIST syntax.
FileZilla connects perfectly using passive mode. Could someone show me what I need to do from this log?

Try editing the FTP Bookmark for the site, and on the Misc tab (shown below)

• Turn off Use defaults at the top
• Turn off Use MLST
• Turn off Use server-specific LIST command
• Set Custom LIST CMD to: LIST

That should make Opus send "LIST" without any arguments, like FileZilla is. (Whether or not Opus will then understand the list format will depend on what the server outputs by default.)

Leo the ftp settings you've shown me didn't work. It keeps timing out again

Tried turning off pasv mode for the site bookmark? It looks like that's where things are going wrong (though they work in Filezilla for some reason), and pasv mode probably isn't required when the client and server are on the same LAN.

I'm now using Rapfox ftp server on my tablet. Everything is working now
