Hi,
I want to make a FTP Server with Arduino Uno and Ethernet Shield Wiznet, but I didnt discovery yet some example code in the Internet.
I got an example code to FTP Client on this link: Arduino Playground - HomePage, but I dont know make de changes to FTP Server...
On FTP Server I dont put this code?:
// change to your server
IPAddress server( 1, 2, 3, 4 );
Somebody can help me please?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
AJoao
FTP is a very old protocol and not really well suited for an embedded platform like the Arduino. Active mode FTP is prohibited by most firewalls today and passive mode means a constant redefinition of the server port. Although this is theoretically possible it doesn't make sense because we have modern protocols like HTTP which does the same as FTP plus a lot more.
So if you really must support FTP as a server on the Arduino, you probably have to program it from scratch, I doubt there will be an already existing implementation. You'll find the specification here http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt
I agree with pylon, with one exception. The HTTP protocol is ok for downloading files from a server to the Arduino client, but to upload a file from the client to the server, I use FTP. That is why the playground sketch is FTP passive client.
The FTP passive server code was a bit too much for me. It requires two server sockets, and managing that with the ethernet library was not really practical. It is difficult enough with two client sockets.
Thank you very much!
I go to use HTTP protocol because it is ok for downloading files from a server to the Arduino client.
I go to try make my project with a WebClient.

I have a ftp server operating on Arduino, though still incomplete.
Take a look at Ftp Server on Arduino - Networking, Protocols, and Devices - Arduino Forum
Just wanted to know if anyone found a way to download files from a server to the arduino SD card using HTTP yet. Please let me know, working on a project that requires this feature, i only need to transfer one specific text file after it is updated. Any ideas on how i could achieve this?
I am working with Arduino Uno and Ethernet shield with a 2Gb Sd card text file is about 500kb Max.
I tried using the PUT method with the TinyWebserver here GitHub - ovidiucp/TinyWebServer: Small web server for Arduino, fits in 10KB ROM, less than 512 bytes RAM
no luck..... it does not respond to the request
This is the upload form used i got it from an example online............
NOTE: not good at programming....... practically at coding for dummies stage

The WebClient example is exactly doing that just not saving it to the SD card. Combine that with ReadWrite example from the SD library and you have your solution.

If you want to get a file and store it on the Arduino's SD card, you don't need a web server but a client (the server is serving it and not consuming).
never thought of that, thank you. Will try and get back to you.
Well this is what i came up with tried to test it with a local xampp page but it didnt work So just asking you for go through to check if i have the right idea.

127.0.0.1 is the localhost address of your PC. You cannot access that IP from the Arduino.
Put the Arduino in your LAN, let it configure by DHCP and connect to www.google.com for the test. That's probably much easier than setting up a local web server to test with.
Thanks, set it up. Works great.
