DM500 FTP failing on 500S

[BromsgroveBhoy]

I am attempting to send a file 'CCCam.cfg' to /etc on my Dreambox 500S.

I have switched off the Firewall, used FileZilla connected to dreambox 192.168.1.250 on port 21 using root {dreambox}.

I can navigate the sub-directories on the Dreambox 500s absolutely fine through FileZilla.

However, I am getting the following error in FileZilla when I attempt to upload this file.

Status: Starting upload of C:\TEMP\CCcam.cfg
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,250,250,171)
Command: STOR CCcam.cfg
Response: 553 Could not create file.
Error: Critical file transfer error

I've made sure that the /etc has read-write-execute permissions for the incoming file. But still no luck.

Any ideas - I'm really stummped!?!

Regards, BB.

Try Flash FXP mate .
If you get the same outcome, reflash
And ftp the files then
Backup your channel lists first............Paul

why not download the file straight from internet to your box, using addons

If only it was that easy. Ha
Dont think CCcam.cfg Comes ready made mate
You got to input the text ,then send it back to the box ....Paul

Got the FTP working.

It was attempting to put the file in /var, but when I switched to /var/etc - where I should have been putting the file - the FTP worked.

The permissions on /var and /var/etc are the same so I've no idea why the FTP failed then with just /var.

Nevertheless, cheers. FTP'ed all the files I now need. Also bouquets working following successful FTP too.

Now for a bit more Forum Reading!

I think on a 500 /etc/ is read only. You probably need to put it in /var/etc/

The OP said he was trying to FTP a file to /etc - (once you've analysed his white text on white background, LOL)- which on a dm500 is in the R/O squashfs mtd5 partition.

You can only transfer files via FTP to the JFFS2 mtd1 partition, which is /var

/var/etc/CCcam.cfg will work fine and dandy...

Cheers- AL
