FTP & saving settings problems
« on: October 22, 2013, 05:19:32 AM »

Hi,

I'm having some weird problems trying to complete a successful test for the FTP upload of images. I did successfully manage it once but when I went back to the settings after a few days to complete the motion detection part, the test now fails but the settings haven't changed.

In fact, mostly it states "Invalid FTP server address" after the test but sometimes "Unable to change directory"!

Am I supposed to have the ftp:// included in the host name path?

Even so and as it stands, I can't change this or any other settings such as the path for the folder because when I change the fields and click on "Save settings" it reverts back to the previous save!

Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here?

I don't have any problems logging into the Ftp website with these settings.

Many thanks and hope you can help.

Thanks for the reply. I've just realised that my third party auto-fill plug-in is the culprit for some strange reason. All is well now! Thanks again :)

Thanks for the update. Did you populate an explicit path or did you use the "/"?

I didn't use the "/" but specified a path and it went into that desired folder.
