FTPino - A FTP Client and Server for the Particle

Firmware Libraries

hi @Suprazz, I’m sorry to hear that.

Please post your test file and I’m going to try to reproduce it. I will post a pcap of the result and fix the bugs, if any.

Here is the info:

I tried with 2 files, one of 374 bytes and the other 8,5k. Both are not sent completely.

Wireshark file and the 2 files I’m using for testing:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25475710/ftp%20issue.zip

I’m running on 0.5.2 and I didn’t changed your code. I’m compiling on windows with the particle compile photon command.

43

I am not sure I can access the files (maybe a corporate firewall issue?). I’ll try from home. Can you please make sure you enabled external/public access ? Thanks.

44

I will try to write all of my findings in one post so as to avoid fragmentation of the discussion.

  • I have successfully downloaded the files
  • I have successfully uploaded the files to FTPino. The sizes from both files (oil-rtestsam.bmp and test.txt) are reported the same as the ones on the PC that sent them to FTPino.
  • I have successfully redownloaded the files, the sizes match. I did a binary compare of the contents, identical, no bytes missing. I have tried to open the *.bmp, it opened and displayed correctly.
  • a log of the communication can be found at the appendix of this comment. If you so require, I can also produce a pcap

I am in the process of investigating the code on github and see if there are any differences with the one in the build.parcticle.io cloud (not the library in the cloud, but the code I copy-pasted from github into files I created manually).

I am using:

EDIT 30 Sep 2016 19:49 CET :
I have found no significant difference with the code over on github, other than the server was not enabled by default on my side, benign.

I am posting the main file which includes the init() and setup(), maybe you can check it out? It's in Appendix 2.
My personal feeling is that you are not using the required SDFat library from the particle cloud as described, but are somehow linking it externally. As I understand you are building it directly on your machine? Try to compile it in the cloud, what does that produce?

EDIT 30 Sep 2016 20:16 CET:
I am using Photon firmware v0.5.0.

Thanks for the quick answer.

How do do you import your files on build.particle.io??? You copy paste everything manually?

I’m building locally with the cli: particle compile photon C:\myapp

46

Ok so here is what I did. I copied manually everything in build.particle.io

I was able to compile and flash my device with your code without any modification.

In passive mode:
I’m able to list the content of the SD Card but I have the exact same issue regarding to file upload.
I can download file without problems.

In active mode:
I’m not able to list the content of the sd card but if I try to transfer a file, IT WORKS!!!

So I dont understand why but at least I’m able to copy files knowing that even if I’m not able to list the files in active mode, I’m still able to transfer files correctly.

Tried with 0.5.0, 0.5.3 and 0.6.0rc2

really, really strange. I am only using it in passive mode without any modifications. Are you sure you’re using the sdfat 0.0.3 from the particle cloud?

I double checked the connection type in ftprush, it’s passive and I implemented the sources for passive mode, I don’t known what would happen in active mode.

If you’re using sdfat 0.0.3 from the cloud, and tried passive mode with the sources, maybe it’s a hw issue?

I can’t think of anything else right now…

EDIT: I’m using FtpRush v2.1.8 (2.1.8, UNICODE, 2011-11-03).

48

The problem is not related to storing the data, the problem is related to getting the data over tcp.

I’ll leave that like this for the moment but it really like a low level issue regarding the tcp client. And it’s not the only issue I have right now with tcp client.

BTW Many thanks for you time regarding this!

49

ok; glad I could be of service. Please keep us posted on this thread if you find anything worth correcting in the sources. Since I cannot find any bugs or cannot reproduce them on my side, I cannot update anything.
