Hi TivoZa

Thank you for the app. While trying to connect to my tivo I get the following error:

Tivo responded successfully to the ping but the ftp connection test failed
Socket Error # 10061
Connection refused

I suspect that its because I have a username / password to access the tivo, and I couldnt find anywhere to add that?

Regards

The above error indicates that mfs_ftp is either not installed or not running. The "mfs_ftp installation" thread explains the steps necessary for installing mfs_ftp. If you have mfs_ftp installed, you can check if it's running via telnet by typing:

Code:

ps ax | grep mfs_ftp

If it's running you should see a line similar to the following:

Code:

163  ?  R    0:11 tivosh /hack/mfs_ftp/mfs_ftp.tcl 3105 backgrounded

mfs_ftp only allows one connection at a time so if you've established a connection to it from another program then that may be the cause of the socket error. It's also worth noting that some applications (e.g. Internet Explorer) hold onto their connection to mfs_ftp for as much as 5 minutes after a request has been performed.

If you have mfs_ftp installed and telnet confirms it to be running you may want to try connecting to mfs_ftp from "Internet Explorer" (not all ftp apps are mfs_ftp friendly). To connected to mfs_ftp, simply open the url: ftp://yourtivoip:3105

If you're having problems getting mfs_ftp to run, take a look at the '/hack/mfs_ftp/log' file (on your tivo) which should indicate where mfs_ftp is getting stuck.

I assume you're referring to the username & password for TivoWebPlus? nanVue doesn't talk to TivoWebPlus so there is no need for the username & password to be set.

I have selected use passive (PASV) FTP data connections, without which I don't get a listing without it. Now when I click on download, then click on uploads/downloads it says downloading (my PC network card doesn't show traffic) the progress indicator shows 0% and shortly after I get failed, either connection closed gracefully, or floating point divided by zero.

One of the fixes in version 1.0.3.6b is support for passive FTP data transfers

Hi

I get that same error. When I try to start mfs_ftp, this happens:

Any idea what this means?
