FTP server on Ethernut V 1.3H

[Fam. Willems-Vermeiren]

Hello,
 
We have an Ethernut V 1.3 H and we would like to use this board to run a FTP
server. Can somebody tell me if this is possible ore not please?
In the sample program "ftpd" I read the following: "This application
requires the PNUT file system, which is not available on Ethernut 1.x or
Charon II." Does this mean that it is not possible at all to run a FTP
server on Ethernut V1 board because of hardware limitations or can this be
solved by software?
 
 
Thanks in advance,
With Kind Regards,

Hi!

I don't have a enut 1.3 board, but in general, if you want to use FTP
you need something to fetch files from or to store them in. These boards
do not have any storage device of an interesting size for an FTP, so the
filesystem is not activated by default.

So you have two options. Either you attach an external storage device,
like an SD-Card or you build a virtual filesystem inside the small RAM.

You didn't tell about your intention, why you need a FTP for your
system. But if it is for fetching logfiles or measurement data, then you
should think about faking a filesystem and put your mesaurement results
into there. The FTP then can fetch and delete the file but not read.

Best regards,
Ulrich

Hi

we want to use this board to capture data and store it in a file on the
ethernut1.3h board.
Afterwards we would like to download the saved file from the ethernut board
to a pc, so the data collected can managed and analyzed later on and why not
send back to the board.

thanks for you answer anyway!

If it's not too big, perhaps you could store it in RAM and power it
with a battery and wall plug, like a cordless phone. Then you won't
have to worry about the static memory wear off.

Otherwise, then I guess your best bet would probably use an SD Card.
It's possible to drive an SD Card with SPI but I don't think the
driver is ported to atmega128. Shouldn't be hard though. At least with
an sloted memory you can take it out and replace when it wears off.

Hi

maybe we first can try to get it in the small ram, yes.
Does someone know why the ftp commands are not working, seen we have
connection with the ethernutboard?
These are the commands we use, the program we loaded is the ftp sample
project that was included by the starter kit (but mainly written for
Ethernut2 and3 I guess...)

The following internal FTP commands are supported:

   - CWD <pathname> - Change working directory.
   - DELE <pathname> - Delete a file.
   - LIST | NLST [<pathname>] - Send list of files in a directory.
   - [X]MKD <pathname> - Make a directory.
   - NOOP - No operation.
   - PASS <password> - Check user password.
   - PASV - Prepare passive transfer.
   - PORT <hostport> - Set data connection.
   - [X]PWD - Send name of current working directory.
   - QUIT - Terminate session.
   - RETR <pathname> - Send a file to the client.
   - [X]RMD <pathname> - Remove a directory.
   - STOR <pathname> - Receive a file from the client.
   - SYST - Send system identifier.
   - TYPE <type-code> - Receive transfer mode.
   - USER <username> - Check user name.

thanks

Fabien
