Hi folks,
I configured MediaPortal to access a FTP Server, but it fails to get a directory listing.
The problem can be reproduced in my network by accessing the FTP Server via a CLI. (note: the FTP Server is INSIDE my network and no Firewall that I am aware of is in between)
Example:
As you can see the client already gives a good hint: "Consider using PASV"
So, when i try to access the FTP server in a passive mode it works.
After spending some days troubeshooting the active mode problem of the FTP server in my own network, I am that close to throw some hardware out of the window.
Since I can't find the error in the network I was looking for a workaround (I can still find the error, but I'd be more fun while watching some of the films i outsourced on my FTP server
)
The workaround would be to enable Mediaportal to use passive mode.
Please, please, PLEASE and one extra PLEASE with cream on top tell me that it isn't that big of a problem to make MediaPortal doing the passive thing.
