Hello all try to connect to my FTP server on the same machine as robotstudio with no sucsess. Load\Dynamic,“MyFTPServer:”\File:=“main.mod”; Under Motion Configuration i have: - 614-1 FTP-Client - 615-1 NFS Client - 616-1 PC Interface under Configuration-Communication I have the correct IP address (192.168.0.192). Tried 127.0.0.1 and localhost - nothing. When I connect from a “real” controller (running robot) it works perfect - so my FTP Server is OK. Any ideas? Thanks! ---

I’ve never had any success with the FTP-Client option in RobotStudio, connecting with an application like FileZilla however seems to work with no issues. ---

I have problems with FileZilla. working: -vsFTP (Debian) - own Java FTP-Server (Windows/Debian) not working: - FileZilla (Controller doesn’t seem to send the password) - own C++ FTP-Server (instead RETR command controller send LIST command) I tried several FTP-Clients to access a file from my C++ FTP-Server (integrated into my software) and they all work. So username, password, IP etc must be correct. Maybe if you could share the settings of your FileZilla-Server could lead me to the solution? Thanks! ---

When I login via FileZilla I don’t use a username/password, leaving it blank works just fine. I am using RW 5.15 though ---

hmm - are you using FileZilla as a client to access the controller or the Server to access FROM the controller to the FileZilla FTP Server? ---
