Hi,

I've got a Dahua ITC237-PU1B-IR which I'm trying to get to write licence plate images to my FTP server.

Couple of issues:
When configured to connect to FTP on port 21 it complains that FTP is insecure (I agree), it also permanently hammers the FTP server with unnecessary commands even when it's not uploading any images (see bottom of this post)
When configured to connect to SFTP on port 22 it doesn't connect at all, though this could be an issue with my FTP server setup (CoreFTP, configured as per the Dahua wiki). Can anyone recommend an FTP server that supports SFTP and connection from these Dahua cameras?

Running the most recent camera firmware from Dahua website (2.622.0000000.1.R, build : 2018-11-14, WEB Version3.1.6.653952), and reset camera to defaults after upgrading

Many thanks
Jim

The unnecessary FTP commands are as below, this repeats ad infinitum:
