|    Laptop can connect to FTP server; camcor    |

      From: none@none.none              The router is a Netgear D7000 just upgraded to the latest firmware. I       recently marked a milestone birthday-don't ask which one-by treating       myself to a Canon XF605 camcorder. One of the main reasons I popped for       it is its capability to do things over Wi-Fi like livestream, which I've       tested and gotten to work, and, more importantly, transfer clips via FTP.              So in anticipation of this last I picked up a compact 2TB USB hard drive       to hook into the router and went to set it up as an FTP server. I       configured dynamic DNS to allow remote access and it works with my       laptop both at home and away, but the camcorder won't connect to the       server for love or money. It just gives up with the useful and       informative message "Unable to connect to FTP server."              I've got it narrowed down to an issue with either the router itself or       the DDNS provider (no-ip.com, which provides the mynetgear.com domain       Netgear routers use for this purpose). I found a test FTP server online       that the camcorder CAN connect to, proving that it's not the problem.       I've reset the router to factory defauts-after which I had to manually       reenter all my settings wien it refused to load the settings file I       saved first. And once more, the camera's other Wi-Fi cabalities I've       tried so far work,              Am I looking at trashing an otherwise perfectly good router or should I       maybe go with what I originally thought about doing-picking up a       Raspberry PI and setting it up as an FTP server instead of relying on       the router? Or are there any tweaks I'm not seeing in the router's       settings that will let the camcorder connect?              Thanks in advance.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
