I can login to DNS ftp server using a browser. However, using at least 5 different freeware backup programs, none is able to send files to the server. The login test reports it is successful, but backups do not complete.
I have passive mode on, I am not forcing ssl/tls encryption.
Any ideas what might be going on here?

Have you tried manually transferring a file to the DNS-323 using ftp? If you can't write to it, then your backup program won't be able to either.
-
Yes, I can transfer files using windows ftp command. I've disabled the firewall on the PC.
I wish the ftp app had a logfile.
The command line ftp would be fine, but I need an incremental ftp backup.

So you know your ftp server is working, the next step is to determine why your backup app can't write to it - what do the application developers do for support?
-
I'm confused. How is your backup application supposed to work? Does it use FTP as the protocol to transfer files?

I've tried a couple, but right now I'm using GFI Home backup.

Unbelievable! I figured out the issue. Even when the app filled in the FTP:// prefix in the server entry box, the connection would work if I removed it.
So here is what the app provided: ftp://myserver.com. To me it would make sense to change it to ftp://192.168.0.3 but in fact it needed to see it as strictly 192.168.0.3.
Thanks for your help! It was your replies that showed me the problem must be mine.
