I can access (via FTP) the imedia 4.0.5 release on an M200 with Filezilla but not with other FTP clients. What FTP package comes as the default installation and and how can I look at the log file? Is VSFTPD installed and operational by default? I see bits of it but not all of it (no executables). I just identified what I think is the problem. It looks like the FTP server for imedia has PORT/EPRT disabled. This forces it to function in the PASSIVE mode. If I connect to the imedia machine and use PASSIVE, I can get a listing. However, if I switch to the ACTIVE mode (non passive) and request a listing, I get the error "512-PORT/EPRT is disabled". Since I am interfacing with a Siemens PLC, I need to be able to work around this. Does anybody know of a 'Work-around'?

Problem was solved by installing the VSFTPD package on the 5.0.4 CD and configuring the server for ACTIVE mode I also had to comment out the standard FTP services in the /etc/services file
