ftp 500 error message

Post by gwoodin »

For the past few weeks I've received this. Approx 20% of uploads to the ftp site fail in a random fashion.
Not knowing where the fault was, I tried changing the tick boxes in the Cumulus Internet page.

I ticked the 'use active ftp mode' box after reading the Cumulus help files. The next scheduled upload failed, so I unticked the same. (thinking it hadn't worked). Curiously all uploads (20 minute frequency) have been successful since.

I've posted to perhaps help anyone experiencing the same. Perhaps an expert will comment.

I can't think of any ftp problems that switching to active mode and back again could fix. Was there any more to the error message, or was 'ftp error 500' all you got?
