FTP service on Hikvision 5.1.6

[Musad]

Anyone had any luck with the FTP service?

BusyBox v1.19.3 (2013-11-01 10:10:26 CST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

# setFtpService start
Enable ftp service.

# ps
  PID USER       VSZ STAT COMMAND
    1 root      3056 S    init
    2 root         0 SW   [kthreadd]
    3 root         0 SW   [ksoftirqd/0]
    5 root         0 SW   [kworker/u:0]
    6 root         0 SW<  [khelper]

 3196 root      3060 S    -sh
 3205 root      3060 R    ps

When I try to connect from a client..

~/unix $ ftp 192.168.1.125
Connected to 192.168.1.125.

Try "root" instead of admin.

 

[Musad]

I tried root, I got this error..

 

[catseyenu]

Try passive mode "-p".

 

[Musad]

Still no go for some reason..

Try using a client, Filezilla works for me.
I'm also able to access FTP using Windows Explorer.

 

[Musad]

I was using Linux command line and WinSCP (ftp mode) with no luck.
I tried to access FTP using Windows Explorer like you did and that worked, weird.

Anyway thanks for all your help.

That did it, WinSCP had "Passive Mode" set by default.

Thank you.
