Hi,
I'm trying to send data every minute using FTPS with FTPClient. This used to be done using HTTPPost, which isn't secure. It's a CR1000 with OS 32.05.
I've read the FTP Streaming guide and am doing what that says, using a slow sequence with a loop. I'm creating the filename string just before the FTPClient command, using the RTime array. When I use a command of this form:
FTP_Result = FTPClient (AddressAndPort,UserName,Password,"Table1",FilenameAndExtension,12,0,1,Min,33)
Where option 2 means save data file in passive mode, adding 10 means use FTPS. Option 33 means CSIJSON with timestamp but no record#
Data is saved in multiple files, but the filename and extension aren't what I want.
When I use the following, I get occasionally get a unique file created, with non-zero size and the right filename, but mainly there is a file with the right filename, of size 0K that keeps being overwritten:
FTP_Result = FTPClient (AddressAndPort,UserName,Password,"Table1",FilenameAndExtension,12,0,1,Min,1033)
Where option 2 means save data file in passive mode, adding 10 means use FTPS. Option 33 means CSIJSON with timestamp but no record#, adding 1000 means don't append incrementing number and file extension.
The FilenameAndExtension values are incrementing as expected, except when I try to use the custom filename.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
A
Hi,
Could I bump this please?
Thank you,

I'm working on a project where it would be useful to be able to send large files by FTP, but a secure form. Any progress on this?
send large files by FTP
Be aware that the TCP/IP buffer in those loggers is very tiny, which means that the back and forth waiting on ACKs will create a slow connection the higher the latency of that com link is. Next to a FTP server (=good).. half way across the county with a mobile connection between (=bad).
On your FTP thing.. I only got a solution here that stores files in logger memory (CRD) and renames those and then they get pulled by a computer. It's the other way around from what you do.. but maybe an option?
If the logger is behind a modem/router and that is VPN capable the security issue is taken up by that device..
Thanks for the reply Nico.
Insecure FTP has worked OK in the past, but good to know about the reason for slow transfers. That particular project doesn't have a memory card, but it's another thought as a work around. It'd be great if the FTPS code worked though.
