I’ve got a pair of 3TB MBL drives and I’d like to transfer data from one to the other via FXP. I found a great guide to doing that here:
http://community.wd.com/t5/My-Book-Live/GUIDE-Enable-FXP-transfers-between-2-MyBookLives/td-p/535436
I followed the directions but for some reason I cannot get connected with FTP Rush. I have FTP enabled via the UI on both drives. I have enabled SSH and changed the password and have no problem connecting with putty via SSH. I have even connected with a program called psftp, so I think FTP access works (although I’m not sure what port that program uses).
The problem comes when I try to connect with FTP Rush. I can connect via SSH fine, but that doesn’t allow passive mode, so it doesn’t allow me to transfer files (I guess FXP requires passive mode, right?). I have tried the following:
- Normal FTP Server
[1] Connecting to 192.168.1.100:21
[1] 220 “Welcome to MyBookLive”
[1] USER root
[1] 530 Permission denied.
[1] Retrying after 30 seconds for ftp://root:***@192.168.1.100
- SSL FTP (AUTH TLS)
[1] Connecting to 192.168.1.100:21
[1] 220 “Welcome to MyBookLive”
[1] AUTH TLS
[1] 530 Please login with USER and PASS.
[1] Retrying after 30 seconds for ftp://root:***@192.168.1.100
- SSL FTP (AUTH SSL)
[1] Connecting to 192.168.1.100:21
[1] 220 “Welcome to MyBookLive”
[1] AUTH SSL
[1] 530 Please login with USER and PASS.
[1] Retrying after 30 seconds for ftp://root:***@192.168.1.100
Very strange that the last two attempts tell me to login with USER and PASS, since I have provided those already. I did try SSL FTP (Implicit SSL) and TFTP and both also failed, but they go to ports other than 21, so I didn’t think those were correct anyway. I tried this for both MBLs with no success. I tried to mess with some settings like anonymous, but nothing I tried helped.
This seems like it should be a simple because I am not trying to use remote access or anything. Both drives are on the local network with my computer.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I might be doing wrong or can try? I am open to trying a different program for FXP, but based on the thread I linked to, I don’t understand why I can get this to work.
Thanks for the help.
