I had the same problem. I have a 7250 which uses
/usr/bin/ftpd. I got a new 7260 and
could not ftp to it at all. This seems to use proftpd according to this line in
/etc/
inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /sbin/proftpd proftpd
Why doesn't proftpd work?
I used ftpget to get /usr/bin/ftpd from the 7250 and all is fine.
According to the proftpd site, proftp is an all-singing all-dancing,
configurable FTP server.
Not suitable for an embedded controller, I wouldn't have thought.
ls -l /usr/bin/ftpd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 63986 Nov 19 14:28 /usr/bin/ftpd
ls -l /sbin/proftpd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 446204 Jul 28 23:28 /sbin/proftpd
After all every byte is sacred.
