As it says the title, I installed the new snake version and I added the transmission package.

I created the user accounts and the sharing folders I had before the firmware update but the FTP wasn't worked (the SAMBA works OK). When I go to Services -> FTP the FTP service wasn't stopped when I clicked on 'Stop' button.

When I tried to connect on ftp://snake  device the snake wasn't accept the username and password I gave when I created a user.

I returned back to snakeos-V1.3.2-20101130-from-snake and everything worked ok!

I have exactly same problem. I tried to reload config bin file which was saved in previous snake-os release then ftp started working but the opkg service doesn't work then.

Should be fixed in svn.

As a temporary workaround you can ssh/telnet into the box and run this to fix up the password of an account:

echo <ftpuser>:<password> | chpasswd -m

Thank you Stefan for your workaround - it is working!
Nevertheless, I couldn't log in to the ssh/telnet. apparently the admin password changing in the website does not affect the ssh/telnet password (it used to be like that in the previous releases) so finally I logged in with the default admin/snake password.

Thank you all for the great work!

Ok after successfully enabling FTP, I found out that there is a File transfer problem. It reminds me Issue 11 that was fixed in the previous version.
https://code.google.com/p/snake-os/issues/detail?id=11
The problem appears only in wireless-connected clients (e.g. Laptop downloading/uploading files from the SnakeOS ftp over wifi connection) but not on the wired-connected clients (over Ethernet).
Luckily this problem DOES NOT occur in samba file transfer, even over wireless.

Hi, I'm on snakeos-V1.3.2-20111007-from-snake (NS-K330) and can't FTP (wireless n), Linux Mint (LMDE). I'm new to Telnet but I eventually succeeeded in telnetting the device. I enter the command suggested by Stefan in comment 2 as is:

echo <ftpuser>:<password> | chpasswd -m

and I get:

-sh: syntax error: unexpected "|"

Should I use my real ftpuser ID and real new password in the command or the error I get could have a different origin?

Samba works over wireless. I haven't tried FTP over ethernet yet.

Yes, replace <ftpuser> and <password> with the ftp user ID and password. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

@magn...
The root password issue is fixed in svn. It's the same thing that broke ftp users. My attempt to save a few bytes by disabling long options in busybox sure backfired..
If more of these crop up I'll just reenable them.. it's not worth the trouble.

I'll check out the wireless issue. I can't really think of any changes that could trigger that though. Vsftp, kernel and the network settings should be identical to the previous 1.3.2 release.

Thank you Stefan for your quick answer. Problem solved:

1.- I entered in telnet

myrealftpusername:myrealnewpassword  | chpasswd -m

As a matter of fact it is NOT my NEW password. It's been the same all the time.

I am over wireless (Dell Inspiron 1721 internal wireless n)

I can FTP my  NS-K330 from Firefox and from Nautilus.

2.- After that, I entered a new FTP user on the web interface (another computer at home) in this case over ethernet. No connexion. Then I entered the command in point 1 in telnet (same user and password as in the web) and I can FTP to my NS-K330.

I haven't tried any other functionality but transmission, for exemple, works (only tried wireless).

Very happy.

Thanks again Stefan and if you need any help ...

I had the same FTP password issue and it is fixed with the solution provided.
But now, i am unable to "PUT". I get a message saying i have no permission. "GET" works fine. BTW, write is enabled in the share.

Hi Stefan,

I have just upgraded to snakeos-V1.3.2-20111007-from-snake and now FTP client on my ip camera could not login to FTP video stream.  I suspected it is due to password issue.  I attempted to telnet to execute the work around but keep getting incorrect login.  Could you offer a way to overcome?

By the way, I upgraded to the latest firmware is because the FTP on earlier version failed to work when ftp files received added up close to 1GB.  Any offer to resolve this?

Thanks.
