can't see files in ftp folder (1 Viewer)

[coax]

hi

i have added an ftp folder in video in mediaportal config. but when i access it in mediaportl i cant see anyfiles. the ftp section is also marked red in videos. can you help me with that?

This would make me think the folder is unavailable being red, Are you sure you have "This is a remote FTP folder" checked and all the proper settings including username and password are correct?

 

[coax]

yes i have, and i can access it from a browser or a ftp program

2011-11-21 12:36:39.575467 [ERROR][MPMain(1)]: FTPConnection: Unable to connect to ftp://io:22921 reason: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond ip:21

Seems like your ftpserver is not responding on port 21.

My ftp server is not on port 21 but 22921. And i have chancen that in config. But can you see that it's trying to connect to port 21?

Yes, it's connecting to port 21 despite you can change it in config. I'm not sure why port 21 is hardcoded in mediaportal code. I tried to get answer from developers earlier but no succes.

I'm note sure if this is the correct code, but at least its defined here.
https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...tal/Configuration/Sections/BaseShares.cs#L614
https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...tal/Configuration/Sections/BaseShares.cs#L701


I can confirm this, definitely a bug.

 

[coax]

so have i understand this right , that i can't change the port. even if i set a port in config?

or is it possible to change it in a config file?

 

[1stdead]

Correct and no


We should have a mod to move this thread into Bugreports - MediaPortal Forum

Sebastiii: has been kind to move it. THX!

-------------------------------------------------------------

So the problem is that port 21 is choosing despite you choose a different port in mediaportal configuration. Nowadays its quite insecure to run ftp at port 21, so it would be nice to choose something higher.

How to reproduce:


Set TCP/iP port to 22921 here http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/15_Customization/06_Folders

Correct value is written in mediaportal.xml <entry name="shareport16">22921</entry>

Connect to folder in Mediaportal gui and see that it fails. So something goes wrong in connecting to the folder

Something here does not match up.


My idea is that i could be hardcoded somewhere, perhaps here:
https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...tal/Configuration/Sections/BaseShares.cs#L701
or here
https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...tal/Configuration/Sections/BaseShares.cs#L701

when you try to connect to share.
