FTPGET Issues

[Bolt]

I'm trying to implement FTPGET for the first time.  Windows 10 PC hosting FTP via IIS.  Windows Firewall disabled.  PC connected directly to switch with PLC.

Code: [Select]

192.168.140.51  Port 29298(0x7272),05/21/21 02:20:57.690 ,"File wasn't found in FTPGET @00000200"

This is trying to place the file on the RAM.  It results in a file being created, but of 0KB.  I have occasionally gotten actual data in the test file, but not with a FTPGET success bit.  Always an error bit.
Trying to do FTPPUT from RAM to server also gives a similar result, a file is transferred, but it says File wasn't found in FTPUT and error bit is set.

Any ideas?

We'll set up FTP to IIS and see if we can dupe it. FTP is pretty simple, but there are some nuances between servers that we've had to tweak. I hate to ask, but are running the latest OS? I'm pretty sure a couple of bugs were fixed that sound a little like this.

[Bolt]

Yes, I believe I am running the latest update of both Win10Pro and DmD 2.8.3.  I would appreciate someone else's experience seeing if I'm overlooking something or if there's a tweak to the settings to be made.  I'm running everything as simple as possible, no security or access control of any kind.  I basically followed Garry's youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6BX5dnut5U

I was thinking there was a firmware version later than 2.8.3. Not at the office to confirm, but I think the latest is 2.8.5.

From the firmware revision (2.8.5) notes on the website:

"Fixed a problem in FTPPUT when the 'Use Unique Filename in Remote Directory' option was selected. FTPPUT was not properly handling responses from the FTP Server and would incorrectly report an error even though the instruction worked.

The FmtString function in STRPRINT now properly supports negative timer accumulator values."

I had seen item one as well but hadn't paid it much attention.

Okay, so when you posted that question I double checked.  I clicked Help -. Check for Updates... and it replies "An error occurred while reading the product information from the server."

Then I Googled Do-more Designer Download, and clicked through the ADC website to https://www.automationdirect.com/support/software-downloads?itemcode=Do-more%20Designer, which says "Do-more Programming Software : current Version 2.8.3"

I thought I was in the clear.  I will check the computer I am developing on later and see what changes.

Where are the release notes posted?  I've only ever read them in the PDF that comes when downloading an update.

[Bolt]

I think https://hosteng.com/ is down completely.

It's working for me.

[Bolt]

Strange.  I can load it on my phone with either WiFi or 4G, but from the PC on "same" network as WiFi, I get:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to hosteng.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I'm just doing what Firefox told me, contacting the website owner!

Emailed it to you.

I have it working now.  I updated device firmware to 2.8.5.  It is now working to my satisfaction.  Sorry for the confusion, always double check (device) firmware version!
