OpenATV 7.3 NO FTP

DM900 clone the image is installed in Barry Allen. Everything works fine except I have no FTP. Password has been changed via the menu, telnet works as does SSH.

The problem is I can't use Echannelizer or Dreambox Edit as they use ftp.

Any suggestions as to what's happening ?

Install a newer version, at what I can remember one version was buggy and then fixed later... perhaps an online update could fix it,

TS

Updated 87 packages. All went well but still no FTP.

by default root user requires password to connect via ftp. It can be skipped by editing pamd rules for vsftpd.

The password is included in the profile for the connection.

All I get is "Connection established, waiting for welcome message..."

Then it times out after 20 seconds or so.

edit: I'm using Filezilla

try any old school ftp client , or even telnet

Code

telnet IP_OF_DECODER 21

Do you mean open up a Terminal on my desktop and type "telnet ip:21" ?

Opened up a terminal and typed "telnet 'ip' 21". No joy just "Connecting to ip" and hung.

Actually it said "Connected" not "Connecting" but still hung there ? Is something else supposed to happen ?

I kind of doubt that. If I open up other images from Barry Allen FTP works from the same PC

How can I snoop the communication ? What is the linux command to read the system log in real time ?

Isn't there a way to check ftp ON THE DEVICE to rule out other factors first ?

Installed the same image on an SF8008 I also have and FTP is working fine so something peculiar to the DM900 or Barry Allen.

It's not installed to primary slot if that's what you mean.

I know it's not supported but many have installed OE2.2 images to Barry Allen without issue.

The author seems to not like many things. He has every right to turn it off remotely if he wishes until then I will use it as I see fit.

For me this is about learning WHY this is working or not working as expected. There is an educational aspect to this hobby which is much more gratifying than watching tv.
