   Issue with vsftpd and camcorder on Pi4B   
   20 Jul 25 13:16:36   
   
   From: none@none.none   
      
   I'm using-or more accurately trying to use-a Pi4B as an FTP server to   
   eventually remotely transfer clips from an internet-capable camcorder (a   
   Canon XF605 if that's important).  Anyway I managed to get it all   
   working briefly until a few months back.  Now when I try transferring   
   from the camera to the server the camera tells me it received an error   
   code from the server.   
      
   I'm afraid Canon doesn't help much when it comes to diagnosing what the   
   issue the server has with the camera is, but when I go to vsftpd's log   
   it seems the camera is trying (and failing) to create a subdirectory in   
   my home directory instead of doing what it used to-just write to the   
   directory I told it to in its settings.  That directory, by the way is a   
   USB-connected hard drive mounted in the /media directory.  I have no   
   problem connecting to the server and accessing the drive using the   
   FileZilla client on my laptop, which leads me to believe the camera's   
   FTP client got hosed up somehow with the last firmware update from   
   Canon, whici is when I think this started.   
      
   Frankly, that wouldn't suprise me since that client wasn't worth much to   
   start with-it doesn't support SFTP,  for instance, despite its being   
   supposed to-which is why I had to install vsftpd instead of relying on   
   the Pi's built-in SFTP/SSH support.  Anyway, I thought I'd run this by   
   the group to see if anyone had any ideas as to whether anything could   
   possibly be done on the Pi or in vsftpd that would help.  If not, it'll   
   be another round of me vs. Canon.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
