Hello,

I am trying to setup a simple ftp server from a usb drive on a wrt-32x router, but it doesn't work.
Does anyone who have a ftp server working could tell me the firmware version/release it's running on?

I couldn't get it to work in any of the following releases: r55460, r59045, r62170 and r62192. I am currently on r62192.

The router recognizes the usb drive and mounts it to /mnt/sda1. In the NAS tab I enabled the proFTPD, with anonymous access. Setup a share, user and password.

Invoking the proftpd from the command line doesn't produce any effect.

I appreciate any help/guidance on this one.

I was able to make it work on r62240 firmware.

One important detail, though. The Anonymous Home Directory cannot be left blank or just "/". You need to input the share name there. Something like:
Code:
/ftp-share

Apply settings and check if proftpd is running using the terminal.

Check the process list
Code:
ps | grep proftpd

You should find a line like this: 15328 root 1464 S proftpd: (accepting connections)

Also, check for any log messages, if logging is enabled
Code:
cat /var/log/messages | grep proftpd


Cheers!
