FTP connection to MyMobiler failes
Posted: 24 Jan 2010, 21:39
I found out that MyMobiler provides FTP access to my Pocket PC. MyMobiler is a freeware program, that I use to display the screen of my Pocket PC on my desktop and remote control the device. I use Version 1.23.
Using Salamander's FTP plugin (FTP Client 1.23 in AS 2.51), the connection fails. Using FileZilla or Windows Vista Console ftp.exe, the connection succeeds.
Here are logs
At this point, AS displays a message box with the following content
Now, I can use the Windows Mobile plugin, but still I am curious about what causes the failure, and if you (Altap) are interested, it might help to improve the robustness of your client.
Something seems to be strange about the server though, since I cannot logon to it using telnet client. Nevertheless, Filezilla and ftp.exe can. Using telnet I get the welcome message, but no reply on the USER command. Furthermore, if a tarry for just a little while the server disconnects.
