Can't connect via FTP

Can't connect via FTP

Hi!
I tried via Forklift (macOS) to connect to my Octopi, but didn't get it!

Tried:

FTP (passive and not passive), FTP TLS (passive and not passive), SFTP with name and PW

Have you tried running in safe mode?

no

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

?

Systeminfo Bundle

octoprint-systeminfo-20211120220319.zip (318.7 KB)

latest versions of Octoprint and all my plugins

thanks in advance for your help!

Did you get a specific error message?

yes! >> "Sandro@octopi.local: Permission denied (publickey,password)."
I also tried with an newly generated API-key and with an IP-adress like 192.168...

OctoPrint's login info is not the same as the OS login. The API key in OctoPrint won't let you in to the system.

On an OctoPi install, the username is pi and the password is raspberry unless you previously logged in and changed it, it's not the same password as you use to login to the web UI.

yes, I had read that, but even with name=pi and pw=raspberry there is no chance...
same error message ...!

Have you tried using the IP of the Pi?
And can you SSH into it?

FTP?
Is there an FTP service running on octopi?

I know there is none on mine:

nmap kiwi.intern

No port 20, 21. FTP is so 1990

(Ok, I read it up, an extended version of scp goes by the moniker SFTP. When you can ssh into a box scp works as well. You can always test it from the terminal on OSX and test if its a limitation of that other program)

Yes, you can reach it by e.g. WinSCP:

FTP != SCP which is a protocol run over SSH. OctoPi doesn't ship with FTP or SFTP, use SCP.
