View Full Version : SF4008 FTP issue
Hi all
I've hit a snag with my spanking new Octogon SF4008 which has literally nearly caused me a mental breakdown ! .... The box won't allow me to FTP into it using every FTP client you can imagine on both Windows and 2 flavours of Linux ??
I can happily Putty into it (which to me implies SSH is working) and I can type //192.168.1.97 into a windows explorer box which let's me access root filesystem etc so I'm happy that it's using and appearing on my home network I just can't FTP to it
Any ideas please ?
If you use filezilla for example what are you actually entering?
192.168.1.97 for login, root for the user name and 22 for the protocol. HOWEVER you've literally just jumped in as I was about to post an update ! Lol (really do appreciate you trying to help though !)
In case anyone else ever gets this do the below :
Step 1 - Putty connect into your box (full guides on internet how to use Putty)
Step 2 - (assuming you've successfully logged in with password etc) type "opkg update"
Step 3 - sit back while your box updates it's repos (I think its a bit like sudo apt-get update on Debian , only for VIX boxes ?)
Step 4 - type "opkg install openssh-sftp-server"
Step 5 - sit back and let it install
Step 6 - type "reboot"
Give your box a minute to reboot and voila! You can FTP to your hearts content
..... isn't port 20 the default for ftp (and 22 for sftp)?
FTP uses 20 and 21, one for commands and the other for data. So 21 to get to a box, and 20 to receive the data back.
Give your box a minute to reboot and voila! You can FTP to your hearts contentIf you've had to install openssh-sftp-server you are using SFTP, not FTP (totally different protocol).
I backup the image in the receiver under the Vix menu setting.
Using VUCC by Lee H / FileZilla I transfer the zipped file from imagebackups to my computer.
The Zipped file I cannot extract. This has happened recently.
My Image backups of:-
openvix-sf4008-release-5.0.007 I can extract
openvix-sf4008-release-5.0.0011 and now 13 - I CANNOT EXTRACT
Whats changed and whats the solution please.
I have a Vu+Solo2 and these files unzip fine from the latest Openvix firmware updates.
Background, I need these to update New Receivers via a USB stick.
1) You should start your own thread!
2) How do you try to unzip (which tool/system) and what message do you see????
There has been no change to ImageManager backup during this time

Sorry I may have hijacked this thread but it may be related to original posting.
Found a solution to my problem I posted here above.
I downloaded a free version of winutilities and did a windows registry with a scan plus other scans and now everything extracts.
