DCS-5029L Not Sending Files to FileZilla FTP Server in Azure

(1/3) > >>

cjens19:
I've got 2 DCS-932L's and 1 DCS-5029L. Each camera has their own account on my filezilla FTP server. The 2 932's are working great. However, the 5029 just does not want to send any image files over FTP. The connection is successful to Filezilla, I can see the connections right in the FileZilla log in real time, but images never send. What am I missing? The documentation is a little lacking. I'm on Firmware 1.14 (latest). Here are some of my settings on my 5029, called Main:
LAN SETTINGS
DHCP: Yes
Enable UPnP presentation: Yes
Enable UPnP port forwarding: Yes
Forwarding Port: 1024 (default option)
Forwarding Status: UPnP forwarding is active

EVENT SETUP > SERVER TYPE > FTP
Server address: Public IP of my Azure VM
Port: 21
Username: main
Password: (mypassword)
Remote folder name: maindump/
Passive Mode: Yes

In FileZilla server, the Home dir for user main is C:\FTP\ and has full rights to it, which allows it to CWD to C:\FTP\maindump

Here is a snippet from my FileZilla log that shows the connection is made:

To rule out anything with my motion settings not working, I changed my Event type to send Periodic images every 1 minute. Connections are made every minute, but no images are sent. If I change Server Type to Email, the images are emailed every minute, so it only appears to be the FTP part that's not working.

Anyone have any clue what is going on? I'm using the same settings for my 2 932's and those work just fine.

Thanks all.

RYAT3:
Turn off passive mode on the bad camera?  (Just guessing here).

cjens19:
Yeah unfortunately I've tried all combination of settings. Passive mode toggled on/off has been tried numerous times. Both settings still allows connection to FTP server. Just no images.

Thanks for the reply. Shame this camera doesn't want to work. I like the 720 but until I can get motion images to send, it's being relegated to basement duty.

RYAT3:
Try the main root as a test?

Have you tried maindump\ ? Or other variations?  Some of these cameras are confused and use \ instead.

cjens19:
Yeah I read on another thread that this model doesn't like the lone "/" so I ended up trying all sorts of variations. It doesn't appear that FileZilla cares about which type of slash I use though, which is something I just discovered. If I use "maindump/" or "maindump\" in my DCS config, FZ cares not, it will still change directory to the same maindump folder. I've tried:
"/"
"/maindump"
"/maindump/"
"maindump/"

And all variations behave the same way in FZ. Connections all made, but no images or no successful Tests from DCS. "Test Error"

I then blanked-out the remote folder name field entirely, same results as above.

I can tell that the motion detection is working, because MAIN will make connections to FZ sporadically. However I am seeing a difference in the FZ logs when one of my working cams connects versus this one. The other 2 working cams never enter "extended passive mode", since I have Passive Mode disabled on those 2 obviously, but MAIN does even when it's disabled:

It doesn't matter if I turn Passive Mode on or off in the DCS config, FZ will always execute EPSV.
