ooo ive never been in here before lol

anyway

i have a dreambox 500 (satellite, but other than the tuner its the same as yours) all connected to a network and running fine, i can connect by FTP and telnet no problems. now i have a friend who also has a dreambox, he can also connect to his and mine (i can connect to his as well)

satellite keys are updated pretty often and theres a file that needs to be updated by FTP, now i can FTP to the file in my friends box and edit and send the file in seconds, he can also ftp to his own and to mine

but if i try to ftp the file back into my box it just hangs untill it crashes, leaving the transfer incomplete. anyone else can do it for me no problems, but for some reason i cant

ive tried 3 dreamboxes, 2 PCs and 3 laptops and loads of different software all to no avail

any ideas peeps

Check the rj45 lead m8

I read this 4 times and still can't quite grasp the problem. Can you clarify the action thats failing ? You cant ftp from his box to yours ?

If the file is being used by the box it might block the overwrite or transfer.

Try killing the process first then transferring the file.

You can telnet to the box and type...

killall -9 <process>

For example, if you want to stop mgcamd from running...

killall -9 mgcamd

in a nutshell i cant send files by FTP into my own box without it all crashing. other people can with no problems, and i can send to other peoples, other peoples can send to thjeir own, but i cant send to my own


ive changed the rj45 lead

ive tried with the cam not running

when your trying to ftp a file to the dreambox does it still not work when conected straight to the pc with a cross over cable ? and what is the location of the file/s your wanting to ftp across

the file i change is var/keys softcam.txt i edit it within the ftp prog then transfer it back, i can do other peoples, others can do their own, others can do mine, but i cant do mine, ive not got a cross over cable to try it directly to the laptop

if u edit the file with a stand a alone text editor does the ftp transfer still fail ?
