MKD / SYNTAX 501 Issue

#1 Post by mrviper » 2018-05-26 18:44

Hello,

I am at a lost on this one guys, any help would be greatly appreciated. No matter what I do to the FileZilla settings, the Client (IP Camera) settings, the NAT Router/Firewall settings and Antivirus Firewall settings I simply can not get beyond this point. On each motion detection all the cameras (only one showing here) will do connect, login, then get the same "MKD" and "501 Syntax error" until it Quits/Disconnects.

That camera looks broken AF. Get a better product from a vendor that actually understands how network protocols work.

Lol. About the only thing working properly is the cameras. Can anyone out there please provide me with some actual help, seeing I have seen this 501 Syntax error all over the internet, it is not an uncommon error spit out by FileZilla.

No, the camera's FTP support does NOT work properly. MKD requires exactly one parameter, the path to be created, to be exact. The camera sends zero. Error "501 Syntax error" is just the FileZilla Server telling the client that it is "doing it wrong".

Could be you didn't enter any remote pathname into the camera's setup (for the root, use a single slash/). Pathname is mandatory.
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!
FTP connection problems? Please read Network Configuration.
