Problem with FTP access to MT

RouterOS General
1

I am using FTP to save MT configuration. And when I try to download it to my laptop, I just can not access to ftp directory in MT. It happens only on two MTs, others are working fine with same settings.
Those two MTs have the same hardware (Intel chipset, celeron 700, 128MB ram, 2GB HDD, onboard VGA).
As an FTP client I am using total commander.
And yes, FTP login and pass are properly entered.
Anyone had such problem?

try to connect with winbox, and then use drag-and-drop to download the files from winbox directly. open files window, and drag the file to your desktop

monday,
Check that ‘ftp’ service is enabled at ‘ip service print’.
Check your firewalls that traffic is allowed on both sides.

Normis,
thank you, it worked by drag&drop in winbox.

Sergejs,
ftp service is enabled and there is no firewall problem.

I meet the same problem!
I use the port 2121,because I have been had a ftp server in lan occupies the prot 21.
when i login to my MT ftp server,the filezilla returns:

Connecting to 10.0.0.172:2121 ...
Status: Connected with 10.0.0.172:2121. Waiting for welcome message...
Response: 220 Viking FTP server (MikroTik 2.9.6) ready

Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,0,0,172,128,13).
Command: LIST
Response: 425 Can't build data connection
Error: Could not retrieve directory listing

then i stop my lan ftp server.and change the port back to 21.the MT ftp server can works well.when the ftp connection established,it create a control connect via port 21,and then use port 22 to transfer data. once i change the port to 2121,the MT ftp server don't set the founction.'This is my personal opinion.' any other opinion?
Regard....

I’ve had problems connecting to Mikrotik FTP using Filezilla client in passive mode…active mode works fine though.

I have a router that will do the following:

From the public side:
WILL NOT work with Microsoft command line ftp client
WILL work with Microsoft Explorer FTP client

From the private side:
WILL work with Microsoft command line ftp client
WILL work with Microsoft explorer FTP client

I’ve no idea what is going on…

I had the same issue and found that scp also works.

I’m using Mac OSX and Linux to manage my routers etc. so no option of drag and drop via winbox.

just use scp from the command line and copy the files to the root, /

i.e.

root@XBMC-Server:/home/mynard/mipsbe-517# scp * admin@10.0.1.2:/.

that worked for me.
